Nicholas Lynch Ltd. is a family run business that was founded by Nicholas Lynch in
1984 after switching from working on his brother John's fishing boat, The Marita, to the
processing and wholesale component of the fishing industry. Today, from its state-of the-art processing facility in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, the company is run by Nicholas
Lynch and Niall Murray who with their team have developed a very strong wholesale
business as well as a retail shop. With unparalleled access to the M50 via the N2, its
shop is regarded as one of the finest in the country, having won multiple awards within
the sector.
The company has always prided itself on its strong focus on quality, with everything
going through a 'hand filleting' process with no filleting machines, which has led the
company to be widely established as experts in quality seafood processing.
Commitment to Responsible Sourcing:
Nick's Fish salmon has Irish Organic Farmers and Growers Association (IOFGA) certification, and will maintain this as part of their Origin Green objectives. Commitment to Water Use Reduction With water consumption being a major factor to their business, Nick's Fish will investigate the possibility of installing a rainwater harvesting system on-site to reduce water consumption.
