The Best Of

Irish Oysters and Shellfish

Where tradition meets a new taste for life

For more than 60 years, our family has been growing the highest-quality oysters, mussels and shellfish in the beautiful waters of Galway Bay on Ireland’s West Coast. Here, pure wild sea blends with crystal-clear water from the Burren and Connemara, to produce oysters with a taste as exquisite as it is exceptional.

We’re proud that our sustainably-farmed oysters grace some of the finest restaurants and hotels in the world, with their extraordinary fullness and flavour. And what really excites us is welcoming new and vibrant generations of passionate oyster lovers – as the world moves to rediscover the fun, accessible luxury and sharing-sociability of this most magical little wonder of the sea.

“Kelly Oysters produce both the Gigas (rock) and Edulis (native) species. They are one of the few remaining operations that do, and thank goodness for that. The sharp, unmistakable mineral quality of the Native sang out immediately. The texture was brilliantly firm, chewy, and full of life.”
