Fancy eel for dinner?

You can vote for Lough Neagh eel to become Northern Ireland's New Signature Dish.

Tourism Northern Ireland has been working with four top chefs to create three brand new locally-inspired dishes.

One of these will be named as Northern Ireland’s New Signature Dish. 

The public will be invited to vote for their favourite dish which will be served in restaurants across Northern Ireland. 

The talent chefs and creative minds behind this fantastic legacy referred to as the ‘cooking collective’, are Niall McKenna from James Street South in Belfast; Ian Orr from Browns Restaurant and Ardtara House in Derry~Londonderry; Kelan McMichael from Bull and Ram in Ballynahinch and Chris McGowan from Wine and Brine in Armagh.
