Croatia has a whole host of delicious foods to try
If you're sampling the sunny delights of Croatia – from its rugged coastline to its ancient ruins – make sure you try some of these delicious local delicacies...
Walk into any seafood restaurant in Croatia and you'll see this black risotto on the menu. It might not look the most tempting, but crni rizot – coloured black by squid ink – is a deliciously filling dish packed with squid, mussels and other seafood.
You might think of pasta as being solely an Italian speciality, but the Istrian offering of fuzi will soon have you questioning that. Quill-shaped pasta is served with mushrooms or in a rich beef stew for the ultimate hearty meal that's perfect for that post-hike re-fuel.
Punjenje paprike – or stuffed peppers as we know them – are bell peppers crammed full of meat, rice and spices and cooked up in a tomato sauce before being served with mashed potato. Popular across the country – particularly in summer – local variations mean you might never have the same dish twice!
Meat, seafood and plenty of root vegetables are chucked into a pan and cooked up together in this ultimate Croatian comfort food. Peka is cooked by covering the pan's lid with embers – a popular cooking method in this part of the world that certainly adds a different taste dimension!
Similar to doughnuts, these deep-fried dough balls are popular along the Croatian coastline where they're served up with sugar or chocolate sauce. You'll find some fritule that have been made using the local schnapps, too, so be prepared for a little kick when you're munching them down.
Before you tuck into any of these Croatian delicacies, don't forget to take out a travel insurance policy. At World First we provide dedicated European cover, so you'll be able to explore Croatia in confidence.
