Clare Island salmon on World Taste Atlas

CLARE Island Salmon is truly on the global map.

It has been included on the world's first food atlas which has been launched at www.tasteatlas.com.

The idea of the atlas is to promote 'eat local' culture, as well as to inform travellers and food lovers about local ingredients and traditional dishes from all around the world.

The atlas contains almost 10,000 dishes, drinks, ingredients and food products.

The blog on Clare Island salmon explains: Clare Island Salmon is known as 'the closest farmed fish to wild salmon'. The salmon's superb flavor and lean texture make it popular both nationally and in the European market.”

So far TasteAtlas contains just the one entry from County Mayo and 38 dishes from Ireland. Great tastes of Ireland include Connemara hill lamb, stout and raw oysters in Galway, Baileys, boxty, and the Waterford blaa.
