Corrib River Brown Trout · Galway
Wild Corrib River brown trout pan-fried in Irish butter with lemon and almonds is Galway river dish; available at Ballynahinch Castle and seasonal Connacht restaurants.
The Corrib River flowing from Lough Corrib through Galway city to the sea has been fished for wild brown trout and Atlantic salmon for centuries. The Claddagh fishing village at the river mouth managed the trout and salmon fishery under its own customary law. Wild brown trout from the Corrib has a distinctly sweet, clean flavour from the clear limestone-filtered water of Lough Corrib, quite different from farmed trout. The dish appears on menus at Ballynahinch Castle and at seasonal Galway restaurants that buy direct from licensed Corrib gillies.
