Wexford & 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 Wexford.
🦞 Lobster lore
A lobster's blood is clear, turning a faint blue when exposed to oxygen because it carries copper-based haemocyanin instead of iron.
