Errigal Bay Seafood: Crafting Oceanic Delights for Culinary Enthusiasts

With a legacy spanning over 50 years, Errigal Bay stands as Ireland's largest processor of wild Atlantic Shellfish. Our state-of-the-art facilities in Ireland's North West and South East allow us to export premium seafood globally, including crab, scallop, whelk, prawns, langoustine, and lobster. Our roots trace back to Father James McDwyer's visionary establishment of the 'Errigal Food Processing Plant' in 1962, creating local employment and sustaining the unique heritage of the Donegal Gaeltacht. Over the years, Errigal Bay evolved from processing vegetables to becoming a cornerstone of the community, employing over 200 staff and exporting worldwide. With a commitment to gender equality and community well-being, Errigal Bay continues to thrive as a living tradition in the northwest corner of Ireland. Under current ownership since 2007, the company acquired Kilmore Seafood Wexford in 2013, enhancing its product range. A significant investment program ensures Errigal Bay adheres to the highest international standards, including BRC Global Standards Certification.
Since its establishment in 1962, Errigal Bay, situated in the remote Gaeltacht region of Northwest Ireland, has been driven by a steadfast commitment to sustainability. The initial vision of creating employment to prevent emigration and support the local community remains a cornerstone of Errigal Bay's values.
Over the past four years, Errigal Bay has expanded its perspective on sustainability, extending beyond job creation to encompass broader considerations of environmental and economic sustainability. The company strives to strike a balance between the economic viability of its activities and social and environmental responsibility, addressing the wider societal needs alongside customer requirements.
As a Verified Member of Origin Green, the Irish Food Board's national sustainability program, Errigal Bay is dedicated to annual targets for reducing energy and water usage and waste generation per kg of finished product.
Errigal Bay has played a pivotal role as a founding member of Fishery Improvement Plans (FIPs) for Brown Crab, Prawn, and Queen Scallops. These plans, overseen by the Global NGO Sustainable Fisheries Partnership, focus on ensuring the sustainability of fisheries to safeguard stocks for future generations and enhance the overall ecosystem. Within the Origin Green plan, Errigal Bay sets yearly targets for increasing shellfish volumes procured from fisheries covered by FIPs. The company's suppliers actively engage in various conservation methods, including tag and release, live returns, and collaboration with the Marine Institute for data collection.

CONCLUSION
Looking to the Future
Throughout its extensive history, Errigal Bay has undergone changes in ownership. Since 2007, the current owners have played a pivotal role in steering the company's course. In pursuit of expansion and development, Errigal Bay acquired Kilmore Seafood Wexford in 2013, enhancing its product range with complementary offerings. Subsequently, a substantial investment program has been initiated, focusing on the modernization of facilities and procedures. This strategic initiative aims to uphold the company's commitment to meeting the highest international standards, exemplified by BRC Global Standards Certification.
