What do they do?

Founded in 2009 Wild Irish Sea Veg is a family run company located in Caherush, West Clare, between Loop Head 10 in the South and the Cliffs of Moher in the North.The finest quality sea vegetables are harvested from the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Established by Gerard and Eileen Talty, the family has vast experience in the seaweed industry going back many years. Gerard’s dad Michael Snr was a purchaser for Irish marine products in the early 1960s through to the 1980’s. All seaweeds used by the company are 100%, hand harvested, air and sun dried to ensure the finest quality sea vegetables make it to the marketplace.

Why do we love them?

The company is very much family orientated with Gerard and Eileen ably assisted by daughters Orla, Emma and Allisha along with son Evan. Michael Snr can be regularly called upon to give some much needed expertise. The company began in 2009 with just two products Dillisk and Carrageen. Today there are over fifteen in the range: from the well-established and ever popular Dillisk, to the delicious Atlantic Wakame; but also the sumptuous Sugar Kelp and the energetic Kombu.
