After decades living and working in Ireland’s largest fishing port, it’s no surprise that it was the Shine family who discovered the potential of Irish line-caught Albacore Tuna. Albacore tuna is more moist and delicate than other species of tuna and contains significantly more Omega-3 fats, which normalise and regulate cholesterol.
It was their love for this uncommonly sold fish that led to the setting up of Shines Seafood, the first to source the fish and sell it in Ireland. The family’s background has always been in fish.
Ciara Shine’s father, John, worked as a fisherman for 20 years and her mother, Marianne, worked as a fish buyer and in a fish factory. They also ran a fish and chip shop, which Ciara started helping out in from when she was young. Ciara, John and Marianne now run Shines Seafood together.
They recently brought out a new Seafood Gift Box with a selection of 6 different seafood selections and the box is fast becoming one of their biggest selling online sales products. "People are buying them online from our shop for friends and work colleagues" said John. "If the purchase is a gift to be sent to someone other than the buyer, we remove any pricing information on the delivery docket for the client".
The Gift Box contains a selection of six products from our range including Albacore Tuna, Sardines in Tomato Sauce, Yellowfin Tuna, Sardines in Olive Oil, Tuna Ventresca (the delicate Tuna Belly) and Sardines in Sunflower Oil. The Gift Box can be purchased (priced €25.00) online here at https://shinesseafood.ie/product/shines-gift-selection-box/
