Exploring the Traditional Dalmatian Cuisine
Traditional Dalmatian cuisine, from Croatia's coast, blends Mediterranean and Adriatic flavors with an emphasis on fresh, local seafood. Key dishes include "brudet" (fish stew), and "pašticada" (marinated beef with gnocchi). Olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs enhance dishes like grilled fish and "soparnik" (savory Swiss chard pie). "Rožata" (caramel custard) and "fritule" (fried dough balls) are popular desserts. Dalmatian cuisine is rooted in simplicity and freshness and reflects the region's cultural and natural bounty.

Sourcing the Freshest Local Ingredients
A standout feature of dining aboard a DS Yacht is the commitment to using Croatia's freshest and most delectable local ingredients. The culinary journey begins with the sea itself, with freshly caught fish and seafood forming the foundation of many dishes. The Adriatic Sea is renowned for its bounty, and the chefs take full advantage of this, serving the catch of the day that reflects the pristine waters surrounding you.
In addition to seafood, the chefs select the highest quality meats, local cheeses, and olive oils. Croatian olive oil is famous for its rich flavor and is a staple in the yacht's kitchen, adding depth and character to a variety of dishes. Fresh herbs, sourced from local markets, further enhance the flavors, ensuring every bite is a taste of the region.
