Goodness knows I’ve eaten enough oysters in my time. But going on a boat to a rocky islet in Mali Ston Bay, and being fed oyster after oyster on a shaded terrace was definitely out of the ordinary. It was the first day of our seven-night, small-ship cruise in Croatia, and this culinary treat set the scene for the week to come.
Dozens of visits haven’t blunted my appetite for Croatia and its cuisine, so this Cruise Croatia journey, with its focus on food and wine, got me excited. I also wanted to find lesser-known spots for our evening meals on this half-board cruise: places that showed the breadth of Croatian gastronomy without having to spend a fortune.
