Rural Pub Food Is the Future of Irish Cuisine

"In the village of Downings, County Donegal, The Harbour Bar is a traditional pub known for Guinness with an ocean view. A little building at the side of the pub is now home to Fisk, a cozy restaurant serving more of Donegal’s incredible seafood. In addition to cooking for its own customers, Fisk also serves those at the Harbour Bar, expanding their covers per night. This also keeps butts in bar stools once hunger strikes; why go anywhere when crispy oysters, mackerel paté, and big bowls of local mussels with ‘nduja and fennel can be brought right to you? It’s a win/win for both businesses, local fishermen, and bar patrons." - Jessica Colley Clarke
