Join Donal Skehan and his dog Max on an unforgettable adventure around the picturesque town of Dingle, County Kerry. Setting sail for a spot of whale and dolphin spotting on a sea safari can build up quite an appetite, and Donal is all too happy to find himself in the kitchen of The Fish Box, where Deirdre's secret recipe batter and freshly caught fish combine to tide Donal over for the next leg of his journey. Donal has his pottery-throwing skills put to the test by Louis Mulcahy in his studio, but soon finds his newfound abilities overshadowed by the marvellous craftsmanship of early Christian monks at the historic beehive huts. Cycling along the coast, Donal heads to Coumeenoole Beach, featured in 'The Quiet Man,' to marvel at the stunning stretches of the coastline. A few ice cream samples from Murphy's later and Donal is ready to learn the intricacies of a perfect Irish whiskey at the Dingle Distillery, before trying his hand at putting his very own Dingle spin on a Louisiana classic!
