We’re proud to share this thoughtful and beautifully written feature on Sally Barnes, published by Adventure.com.
Written by Asia London Palomba, who visited Sally in West Cork and spent time learning about her work, the piece offers a deeply personal look at the life and philosophy behind Woodcock Smokery.
Sally is the only person in Ireland who exclusively smokes wild fish, continuing a tradition that honours the integrity of the catch, the health of our waters, and the value of real food skills. The article explores her lifelong commitment to protecting wild fish, preserving food heritage, and passing on traditional knowledge through her courses and conversations at The Keep.
From the hills of West Cork to the global stage, Sally’s story continues to inspire. This article captures what it truly means to swim against the tide—and why that matters more than ever.
