Wellness Villa Istriana in Umag offers a unique fish tasting experience, the result of the owner's daily catch and the culinary skills of his son, a professional chef.

The tastings include an educational presentation on the family’s fishing tradition, which has preserved deep knowledge of the sea and fishing for generations.

Through video content and a display of fishing tools, visitors learn about lesser-known fish species such as dogfish, skate, cuttlefish, bonito, mullet, red seabream, sheepshead, and many others, depending on the season.

The emphasis is on sustainability and the promotion of less commercial but nutritionally valuable fish species.

All dishes are made exclusively from fresh, locally caught fish, without the use of farmed or imported products. This includes specialties such as smoked or dried fish and aged seafood delicacies.

 

In addition to tastings, the on-site fish restaurant at Wellness Villa Istriana provides a cozy and elegant setting where guests can enjoy authentic Istrian seafood cuisine, prepared with passion and rooted in tradition. The restaurant prides itself on a farm-to-table philosophy, offering a true taste of the Adriatic in every bite.
