North Coast with Ian McElhinney

Anna meets Derry Girls actor Ian McElhinney in Portrush. He reminisces about his love of dulse, a local seaweed snack. Anna harvests some before the pair work on a pig farm.

Boarding the train to the north coast, Anna travels along one of the most spectacular railway journeys on the island to meet Derry Girls actor Ian McElhinney.

In the seaside town of Portrush, Ian reminisces about childhood holidays spent enjoying dulse, a local seaweed snack.

Inspired, Anna heads to the shoreline at low tide to harvest some for a delicious recipe before moving inland, where the pair try their hand at pig farming, and produce cured meats reminiscent of the Mediterranean.
