Howth School Of Fish

Doran’s on the Pier are 60 years in business in all aspects of the Fishing Industry. Sean Doran is in fact an ex Fisherman as was his father, Michael and brothers Michael Jnr and Padraig. He lives and breathes all things fish!

The Howth School of Fish is a new immersive tourist facility based on the West Pier, overlooking the harbour.

Visitors will gain an authentic insight into the history and working of the Irish Fishing Industry and aquaculture from former fishermen. Learn to tie ropes, skin and bone fish, cooking tips and sustainable fish stocks.

We offer 3 courses ranging in duration from 90 minutes to a full day experience with a boat trip. We are lucky to own two of Howth’s best seafood restaurants where our seasonal seafood lunches will be served.
