More to see in Brac Island

In general, the courses that you can taste in Brac are not much different from those in continental Croatia. The only thing: the variety of fish courses here is much bigger, and you can vouch for the freshness of seafood, especially in coastal restaurants. The choice of dishes at a restaurant, “restauracija” in Croatian, and in a konoba, the local analog of the tavern, usually furnished in the countryside style, is approximately the same. The locals love to have a proper lunch and dinner because in the morning they do not cook all the dishes in the taverns. Since most of the people here have a late breakfast, in most places you can see the dishes offered for marenda, the second breakfast, from 10.30 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. Usually, it's fish or meat, just a serving will be smaller than a standard one and cheaper. People here prefer healthy, nutritious, and easy food. Near the coast of Brač, there are almost 350 species of edible marine inhabitants, and therefore the choice of seafood courses is truly enormous. The most popular dishes are a salad from octopuses or lobsters, stuffed calamari, baked and boiled sea bass fish, St. Peter, dorado, lionfish, flounder, and mullet. Most often, the waiter tells you what kind of fish is available and brings a few species on the tray to choose one.

From the seafood, they serve oysters, … Read further
