We have discussed Croatia’s cuisine before and mentioned different foods from areas all throughout various parts of the country that any serious foodie should try while holidaying in Croatia but one of the best regions to visit if you want to spend time eating well is Dalmatia. Croatian cuisine is varied and fascinating and each region of Croatia has its own distinct culinary traditions that developed from a combination of the seasonally and locally available foods that are allowed by each region's geographic location and each region's proximity to other countries and cultures. Croatian cuisine has been influenced by connections to Slavic, Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, Roman, and Italian culture.
Dalmatian cuisine, in particular, is characterised by fresh ingredients, simplicity, less intense spicy flavours, and the use of lots of fresh herbs and wild plants. This latter point is the case because the region is rich in Mediterranean herbs, like sage, bay leaves, rosemary, basil, thyme and more. As it is a coastal area, while there are some truly excellent meat dishes, it is a cuisine that especially boasts a lot of delicious shellfish and seafood dishes from various stews to grilled fish and more.
