Salmon of Knowledge

River Boyne, County Meath

The greatest fish in the world, which fed on nine hazelnuts of wisdom fallen into the Well of Segais. Whoever tasted it first would gain all knowledge. The druid Finnegas caught it after seven years of searching — but his servant Fionn, burning his thumb on it as he cooked, licked the blister and gained the gift instead.
