It’s an august month for seafood lovers, with the advent of oyster season and the return of the local seasonal favourite to the city’s menus, bars and markets.
A number of coastal towns also celebrate all things crustacean, including the South Dublin seaside town of Dalkey, which hosts a popular Lobster Festival at the end of the month.
Further afield, the Carlingford Oyster Festival runs over the weekend of August 8th to 12th, while those who prefer to crack their mollusks at home will find plenty of choice at Stephen Kavanagh’s Saturday Oyster Stall in the Temple Bar Food Market.
