About Us

What began as a small Pop up Fish stall in 2002 @ the Galway Market, has become one of Ireland’s Top Artisan Seafood Producer  – 2022 Award for ” Notable Contribution to Irish food” by the  Irish Food Writers Guild – 2017 “Food Producers Merit Award” Eurotoques – 2017 Food Hero  Restaurant association of Ireland

The Quality, the origin of our catch, & the expertise of our team has earned us the trust, respect and friendship of many chefs and other fish predators.

It is said that we have influenced the way fish is now retailed in Galway City!  We look forward to achieving the same Countrywide…  Eatmorefish.ie is Gannet fishmongers Online Fish Market: Home Delivery service.

Gannet Fishmonger’s Unique selection of Fish & Seafood is now yours to enjoy in Galway and Nationwide.

OUR ETHOS

We are surrounded by the richest fishing grounds in Europe. Much of it may have been foolishly handed over to foreign fishing fleets. Let’s enjoy what remains: “Our fish! Our food!”

Promoting locally caught not only benefits us and our local fishing industry. Seeking solutions to reduce our footprint and improve our ways also benefit cute Polar bears. We are a business with a definite environmental commitment.

Honesty. We live and work in the “Hands-on Real World”, not in remote corporate consumerism La la land… The Quality of our fish is real, and so is our promise when we say we get you to enjoy the best Seafood.

Passionate about Fish! Mad about Seafood? Yes That’s would be us… We always love eating it and cooking with it.  And just like Gannets, we just happen to be so greedy at catching it, we always have more than enough to share with everyone else…

OUR FISH

Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, Gannet’s fish supply network stretches all along the Western sea front. The Wild Atlantic Way, where 95 % of our wild catch is landed.

Whether we travel to catch it ourselves or set one of our suppliers to pick it for us, we are real Gannets about it… “We want the Freshest, We want the Biggest, We want the Best, We want it All”… Wisdom has taught us that “without is sometimes better than with”, that there is no such thing as second best.

Imported Fish? It happens if the quality and choice is better to what we may source locally. But we have set ourselves 3 rules:

  1. Not to import fish simply because it is cheaper somewhere else.
  2. Only flying fish should take off in the air. None of our imports are air freighted.
  3. Only fish landed in Ireland may be labelled Irish, this does not include the freight terminals of Rosslare, Dublin, & Belfast…

We love seasonality because of its highs and lows. A product temporarily off the supply list, is a given opportunity to taste and enjoy something else. As we say: “Many more fish in the Sea”

THE MONGERS

The most important assets for any business are the people making it work. We are very fortunate @ Gannet to have got together a great crew of professional and very committed people. Meet the Cast:

STEFAN

Skipper

It takes 5 years to learn a trade, 10 to master it. Parisian born Stefan served 30 so far… fish farming, marine biology, processing, retail trade,… And a life long appetite for seafood. Enough to get a few of his fish facts right.

DIMITRI

ENGINEER & FISHMONGER

Filleting fish, Selling it, Driving, Fixing broken stuff… “Bob” as we sometimes call him. “Dima”, is our “Jack” of all trades.

MICHAEL

BOOK KEEPER

Mick is our office manager, taking care of all our administrative hurdles, so that we get don’t get distracted from all the “real” work

GANNET HQ: Our fish factory.

All our fish preparation and filleting takes place at our processing unit @ Gannet HQ. We call it “The Fish Factory” but we are glad it’s not one… It is no more than a small warehouse, on a busy side Street in an industrial estate on the East side of Galway City.

We designed it & built it ourselves, so not only does it comply with all food & safety standards, but it is also according to us, “the best built fish factory” in Ireland. Designed for and by people who are actually handing fresh fish…

If you ever pass us by, call up to say hello. We have an open door policy and always welcome in Visitors and Customers to look behind the scene.

We are Fishmongers. 100 % of our Wild fish is sourced straight off the boats. When fish lands, all hands on deck join in to sort, fillet, and pack all orders on time for our courier to pick up.
 
We are usually too busy to answer the phone, and fault of outsourcing this service in India :) ... We made the choice to simply cut off our neglected phone lines.
