A bustling fishing
port in the west Gaelic region of Donegal. Considered one of the
major sea angling centres in Donegal. There are regular sailings to
Arranmore Island throughout the year. This area is renowned for its
catches of salmon, lobster and crab in the summer months - fresh
seafood which (along with many other varieties) finds its way onto
menus in The Lobster Pot is a family run pub with a national
reputation for fresh home-cooked food and warm hospitality.
Burtonport used to be one of Irelands important harbours. Built at
the end of the 19th century it served for all kind of fish. More
recently it was used for white fish and shellfish as well as salmon.
It seems that salmon and lobster is the last remaining business in
the port as it is more and more converting to a seaside recreation
area. |
