"A longtime Sea Road grocer run by Ernie Deacy, who has operated the shop for more than four decades. What began as a stall for basics has expanded into a source of specialty foods and supplies for Galway’s West End chefs: Deacy stocks an extensive spice and herb selection (about 135 varieties), prepares many items from scratch including soups and sauces, opens early to serve restaurant prep needs, and even introduces seasonal fruits such as greengage plums." - Gerry O’Shea
