Ted Browne of Dingle is a name that you will see proudly displayed on menus, especially in the South-West of Ireland and he is an especially interesting producer, renowned for quality organic smoked salmon, prawns and crab – especially the crab.
A certified member of the Organic Trust, he and his wife Hannah Mae started this family business from a garage in the back garden of their home in 1984 - and now the company is based at a state of the art factory, and an important employer in the town.
Not only do they produce some of the best seafood in the south-west, but this enterprising company uses the waste from the crab and prawn processing to make an organic compost, which has the usual soil conditioning features plus a secret weapon – it’s a natural bio-pesticide too, controlling many fungal plant diseases.
