Family-run tavern serving exquisite, creative, daily-caught seafood
"On the southern tip of Istria, this konoba which has been active for more than two decades has become a solid landmark for lovers of seafood cuisine, appreciated by locals and tourists alike. Danilo Skoko, chef-patron and fisherman, is distinguished by the quality of his catch, which is always fresh and fragrant, and his strict adherence to seasonality and fishing times. Not to be missed is the initial selection of appetizers, where innards often appear alongside the finest cuts, enhanced in tasty and original recipes. The Mediterranean first courses are equally tasty, while the main course is chosen by sight: the catch of the day is presented directly to the room on a large tray." - Michelin Inspector
"Also on this peninsula, I discovered a trattoria (konoba) where hospitality is central to the experience and which likewise stands out as a gem devoted exclusively to offering the finest local meat and fish." - Sarah Scaparone
"Run by a family of fishermen, this tiny, no-frills tavern just south of central Pula is the place to go for exquisite seafood, with unique offerings like fish liver and salted dried roe. In fact, whatever the family catches during their morning run will likely end up on your plate, whether it’s fish tripe, catfish fries, or roasted bream skin. Be sure to make a reservation and bring enough cash, then keep an open mind—instead of a set menu, chef David Skoko will choose your dishes for you, picking from what the sea churned out that day."
