Some smoked salmon and smoked mackerel in plastic packets in cabinets. No tasting portions. No explanation of the smoking process - video not working. Strange smell in the toilets (and no hook to hang your coat/jacket). However brilliant selection of cards to send home, all types. Not quite sure what all the Bridgestone awards are for as there is no... More

We visited the Burren Smokehouse during a 2week holiday in Clare. We had found it in a touristy guidebook but had the wrong idea of what to expect. The guidebook told us that we'd learn all about the art of smoking and hinted that we'd see the smoking process from start to finish and taste a variety of differently smoked... More

Went to the visitor centre during a trip to Clare. Wide selection of smoked & local produce, very helpful staff on site.

I consider myself a "foodie" and was excited to discover the Burren Smokehouse on the way to the Cliffs of Moher. I spoke with the owner Birgitta at the visitor center they provide samples of their wild and organic smoked salmon. It was a taste of heaven and you've never really had smoked salmon until you tried this. They were... More

Nothing really to see. But, the hosts are lovely, and if you like smoked fish, this is a must stop! They make several different kinds, including a spicy salmon that was terrific. More

Within easy striking distance of Doolin, the Burren Smoke House has a fine selection of smoked fish and it travels well without refrigeration for a few days. Note that if you run out of smoked fish you can still pick some up at the duty free shop at Shannon IAP. More
