Dublin & lobster
Dublin's lobster and seafood land where they always have — at Howth, the working harbour on the city's edge where catches go straight from the boats to the counters. The Dublin Bay prawn takes its name from these waters, and Howth fishmongers such as Beshoffs have traded since 1913.
🦞 Lobster lore
Tail meat is firmer and prized for presentation; claw and knuckle meat is softer and sweeter, favoured for rolls and salads.
