Fish, shellfish and other seafood, topped with olive oil, in the fishing region of Dalmatia, are a mandatory part of the menu. Visitors will find Pag’s world- award-winning cheeses in every restaurant, and they can also visit cheese dairies on the island of Pag. Some of the splendid wines, which have been grown here for over 3,000 years, will go well with the cheese. Serious food-lovers must try peka — a classic octopus or veal dish with potatoes and vegetables, and Pag lamb is already widely known too.
