Established in 2001, Hannigan Live Irish Shellfish is owned and operated by Hannigan Fish Trading, one of the largest exporters of live Irish shellfish.

Located in Donegal, on the shores of the rugged North Atlantic coastline, its supply network of fishermen and boats across the north coast provides the company with a broad range of shellfish for live export.
The company exports brown crab, lobster, shrimp, velvet crab, crayfish, and spider crab to Europe while airfreighting live brown crab and live blue lobster to China, Hong Kong, South Korea, North America, USA, and Canada.
