Spillane SeafoodsSpillane Seafoods, a family run
business, is situated on the shores of the beautiful lakes of Killarney. Close
by, the mighty Atlantic Ocean is home to some of the World's finest salmon
fishing grounds.
Salmon are spawned in the pure rivers of Kerry during the autumn. The
following springtime, the young salmon (smolts) navigate their way to the open
sea, where they will spend the next three to four years feeding and growing.
Then, in a miracle of nature, these salmon will return homeward, finding
unerringly the exact river in which they were spawned.
As they return, they are caught by local fisherman and so begins the process
of preparation for smoking.
The salmon is filleted and trimmed by hand - it is then salted and rinsed
many times in natural spring water. Once prepared, the salmon filets are smoked
in a specially designed oven using smoldering oak chips for several hours.
Finally, the fillets are chilled, pin boned and vacuum-sealed, now ready for
worldwide distribution.
This unique process makes Spillane's Oak-Smoked Killarney Salmon the most
desired of all Irish Smoked Salmon.
