The fish specialties in the coastal regions are of course a particular highlight.
Explore the diversity of Croatian cuisine and discover its fantastic specialties. From the north to the south, from the east to the west, from the Adriatic coast in Dalmatia to the Slavonian lowlands, every Croatian region has its own culinary specialties that will delight you.
Gourmets have it easy on the Adriatic
Good local food is a common reason why visitors return time and time again. Nowhere is it easier to be a foodie than on the Adriatic, where the way to the heart is through the stomach. The Croatian Adriatic coast offers Dalmatian olives, award-winning Istrian olive oils, boutique wines and fresh Mediterranean cuisine.
Absolutely everything is recommended! Off the coast of Istria, the wonderful blue-green sea off Premantura is the next gastronomic stop. Top-class lean fish and shellfish turn every meal into an experience. Then visitors will also understand the meaning of the old Istrian saying "živi kako bubrig u loju" (in German: "Living like God in France").
The drive along the Istrian coast takes vacationers on to the realm of the Kvarner Norway lobster, which is said to be at its best when it comes out of the blue mud of Kvarner Bay. Embraced by the rugged Učka Mountains lies the village of Mošćenička Draga, where you can sample one of the most prized delicacies of Mediterranean cuisine.
Islands attract gourmets with fresh seafood
Islands such as Ugljan attract foodies with locally caught seafood and family-run restaurants, and the ultimate foodie trip is best rounded off with a visit to the Kali Fishermen's Nights, a three-day event that takes place at the end of July or August under the full moon in a traditional fishing village on the Adriatic island of Ugljan, also known as the "Green Island". The fish on offer includes wild tuna, which is also used in famous Japanese sushi dishes.
The first tuna farm in Europe was founded in Kali. The largest producers of Croatian white fish are currently ranked 6th in the world. The farm has won several awards and visitors can take a tour to see for themselves how the clear waters help to produce some of the region's most delicious fish.
Slow food adventure
An insider tip for gourmets is the island of Žut, where guests can enjoy traditional specialties such as grilled fish from the clean Kornati sea, as well as crayfish or a fish brodet in the realm of slow food. For a gastronomic adventure, we also recommend Lučice Bay in Brač, where you can enjoy an octopus salad as a snack by the azure blue sea.
Or a detour to Vis, where the famous smoked fish soup is served in Mala Travna bay, which harmonizes best with the calming silence of the sea.
On Korčula, on the other hand, traditional grilled sardines are the best way to immerse yourself in Marco Polo's wondrous routes. The saying "the more southern, the tastier" is underpinned in Ston with oysters, which, if the artists are to be believed, also gave birth to Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Croatia is just one booking away!
