Try Adriatic blue fish such as sardines, mackerel, bonito or grilled tuna or classic white fish such as sea bass, sea bream, carp and monkfish prepared in numerous ways. Marinated or salted anchovies and sardines are especially popular. And muzgavic on salads or under the oven or on the grill, such as octopus or squid. Certainly fresh scampi and lobsters are waiting for those who want to take hedonism to a higher level.
Risotto, as in Italy, is a classic on the menu and is most popular with seafood. Surely

Istrian truffles are also known outside of Croatia. They are most abundant in the forests around the small mountain village of Motovun. The most valued and considered particularly noble is the so-called white truffle. Tuber magnatum pico, which ripens from autumn to January and has an extremely intense and aromatic taste and smell.
The famous Boškarin is an autochthonous Istrian cattle. If you are a meat lover, you should definitely try it. Boškarin cattle live 365 days a year on pasture, do not forage and eat only what they find in the meadows. The result is particularly soft, firm meat, which is the result of the high fat content.
