Belfast & lobster
Ireland's lobster has been potted from the rocky Atlantic inshore for generations — by the 1870s over 5,000 boats worked the coast in light currachs — and ports like Kinsale (a fishing centre since the 13th century) still land it fresh near Belfast.
🦞 Lobster lore
By the early 20th century overharvesting near the coast pushed fishermen to invent the modern slatted lobster trap, still used today.
