HARNESSING THE WILD WEST

The rugged Atlantic coast of Ireland has always thrived on an abundance of excellent produce. As modern farmers, fisherman and artisans make full use of ancient foraging and distilling skills. Galway's kitchens are pushing the boat out more than ever. Rosemary Barron and I take a look at Galway's food scene and the beautiful Connemara coastline for Food and Travel magazine.
