A Bell Made of Clay
The island of Krk, the
Kvarner Bay, and all of Croatia are known for their culinary specialties. Experience the specialties in the excellent local restaurants in the immediate vicinity of your affordable apartment, holiday home, or apartment. Many of the chefs understandably rely on fish, shellfish, and crustaceans from the sea. But you will also find lamb and pasta dishes in various variations on the menu. The flour and sweet dishes have their origin in Austria-Hungary and Italy and are very popular. Typical regional dishes are also polenta with brodetto, "Surlice" with lamb and goulash, or salted fish. A popular appetizer is sardines, which are dipped in salt, bay leaves, and vinegar. The locals also swear by their squid salad. A Kvarner specialty is grilled meat that simmers under a clay bell. A juicy wild boar roast can therefore take up to three hours to cook but is then particularly delicious. Many locals still live from fishing and also own their restaurants. Spend relaxing hours with a Mediterranean flair.
