Is there a better snack than salted sardines and marinated anchovy fillets with some bread and good olive oil? Especially accompanied with a glass of red wine? Hardly, in our humble opinion. It’s the perfect Adriatic tapas. And luckily, anchovies and sardines are still cheap and plentiful in the Adriatic, so there should be enough for everyone, for a while.

It’s one thing when you are blessed with the opportunity to have them fresh and prepared at home straight from the sea, but when you have to choose between different products on supermarket shelves, you might get suspicious. Especially when the fishies are mass-produced in a factory. But Arbacommerce proved us wrong. This ambitious company often takes part at food festivals in Croatia and abroad, and every time we tried their delicacies, we were amazed how unbelievably good they were. No wonder most of their products are exported.

Although the company is from Zadar, their state-of-the-art processing plant is in Istria, which is also the location we are giving. But find their products in Billa supermarket chain.
