Kenmare, Co. Kerry
Kenmare Select is the town's smoked-salmon curer, an award-winning producer of oak-smoked Irish salmon that sells online and supplies restaurants and delis. Smoked salmon is one of the signature things to bring home from this corner of Kerry, and Kenmare Select is the local name for it, with gift boxes and sides you can order or pick up. It is a genuine artisan food producer rather than a shopfront attraction, so check where and how to buy before you travel. A proper Kerry food gift to take home.
