Clodagh McKenna travels around Ireland to meet those responsible for producing some of the most highly-prized seafood in the world, visiting fishing ports and meeting local producers and food specialists.

Clodagh also takes part in water-based activities to demonstrate the wealth of things to do around the coast including sailing, kayaking, dinghy sailing and an amazing helicopter trip to the Fastnet lighthouse.

In this first programme, Clodagh flies to Inish Mor on board an 8-seater Aer Arann plane, piloted by an ex-US Navy helicopter pilot. On the Aran Island she is met by seaweed harvester Mairtin Concannon who takes Clodagh to the seaweed beds. Clodagh then goes back to Mairtin's house to cook some seaweed with author, doctor and seaweed expert Prannie Rhatigan. Clodagh gets a lift back to the mainland with fisherman Tommy Conneely.

Close to the docks in Galway's city centre is an award-winning fishmongers,The Seafood Centre, and here Clodagh meets owner Noel Holland before giving a fish cookery class in the Centre's own seafood academy. Then Clodagh visits Ireland's only turbot farm on Achill Island before returning to Barna, just outside Galway, to cook some turbot in O'Grady's on the Pier, a popular seafood restaurant.
