Connemara lobster fisherman encounter












During the last 2 years we made a tour of Irish coast in our camping car , but only to the main sights recommended by tourist office. This year onwards, we will tour the coast again, just drive to different corners to check out the area. We like the vastness of the landscape here, the coast, mountain and bog areas. We don’t need to go to big famous locations only, small areas are also very charming.

This is the first group of islands linked by causeways an hour’s drive from Galway, beautiful pristine scenery, but surprisingly lots of holiday houses along the bigger roads. 



Saw a fisherman landed at the small harbour, on enquiring, he sells lobsters, Euro 10 each, around 700gm, asked to have 2. He insisted on giving us 3 lobsters and a big tray of wild mussels, ended up having a big feast, or 2 feasts.

To cook lobsters in the camper, cut them up, heads, tails and claws. Steam separately, 6 minutes for tails and claws, 12 minutes for heads. For those we couldn’t finish, remove meat from shells to cook the next day.
