Exterior of the Connemara Smokehouse on the west coast of County Galway in Ireland.

At this family-run smokehouse, tours reveal hand filleting and traditional preparation, slicing and packing of wild and organic salmon, and various smoking methods, and finish with a tasting. If you miss the tour (by reservation 3pm Wednesday, June to August), large information boards cover the process. It's 14km southwest of Clifden.

Tours in French are also held on Tuesday and Thursday at 3pm between June and August.
