Wild Atlantic Shellfish is now a member of Bord Bia Origin Green in Lissadell

Lissadell, the Sligo cradle of Constance Markievicz, the iconic Easter Rising leader, is again helping a revolution – but this time it is the production of quality oysters for export worldwide.

Wild Atlantic Shellfish, a locally-based oyster company, has just become a fully verified member of the Bord Bia Origin Green national sustainability programme — the latest from the seafood sector to do so.

It has invested in marketing and technical elements over the past year to strengthen its Wild Atlantic Oyster brand position in the existing French market as well as targeting new business in Asia.
