One of our joys in Zagreb is fish. Sea fish. As I write, I can still taste it in my mouth. Both my beloved and I very fond of it, but we cannot find it in Motovun. As everyone in central Istria will tell you, the hilltown is too far from the sea. Indeed, it is about two hours from the coast on foot. But the Croatian capital is on the very shores of the Pannonian Sea, which is rich with fish. All sorts of sea fish are available here at reasonable prices. And this is something few people know about Zagreb. As far as sea fish is concerned, it is the best place in Croatia. Forget about the Adriatic, which is far, far away. Besides, it is much smaller than the Pannonian Sea that stretches across much of Eastern Europe. To the east, it goes as far as the Carpathian Mountains on the border with Asia. Hooray!
