The Irish town where the Titanic made its last stop is teeming with seafood delicacies.
Cork city, located on the picturesque south coast of Ireland, is one of the underrated culinary capitals of Europe, which has a rich maritime heritage. This is reported by the Daily Express.
According to the publication, this charming city retains its own cultural and gastronomic power.
Cork is built around a harbour that is one of the largest natural ports in the world. For a long time, the city was a center of trade and tourism, and in its historic port of Cob, the Titanic made its last stop.
Cork has lively fish markets and quayside eateries serving the freshest Atlantic catch. It is specified that the ocean inspired generations of chefs and food producers, which led to the emergence of a menu teeming with seafood delicacies.
Every year, the city hosts a holiday called Cork on a Fork. Food writer John McKenna describes this time as “an amazing food festival that couldn’t have happened anywhere else but Cork”. There you can try oysters and offal, fresh fish, bread, milk, butter and cheese.
Travelers are advised to make sure to visit the English Market , one of the oldest indoor food markets in Europe, which was opened in 1788. It is a treasure trove of artisan cheeses, handmade chocolate, fresh seafood and cured meats.
The city also offers unique culinary opportunities. In addition to food festivals, Cork is home to Ireland’s leading food producers, including farm cheese makers and craft breweries where tastings can be held.
