About chef Stevie McCarry

Stevie McCarry is an Irish chef whose cooking is shaped by the north coast's landscape and waters, with a strong focus on wild Irish seafood and seasonal local produce.

Six years ago, Stevie and partner Rebekah McCarry, opened a small fish counter offering straight off the boat fresh fish which would eventually evolve into Lir Restaurant & Fishmongers, laying the foundations for Stevie's ingredient-led approach and close relationships with local fishing boats and suppliers.

Known for a playful, modern style, his cooking combines simplicity with creativity, while at Lir he champions a strong zero-waste ethos, making full use of ingredients and working closely with small-scale fishers, growers, and foragers. His food balances refined technique with an informal philosophy firmly rooted in place.
