Srdela Snack - spoj Jadrana i Japana

Nigiri, Akami, Gunkan, rolani… koja je šansa da na nekom dalmatinskom otoku dođete do odličnog japanskog sushija? Moguće je jedino u mjestu Kali, na otoku Ugljanu, gdje je tvrtka Kali Tuna preuzela koncept uobičajene marende od plave ribe i pretvorila ga u jedinstven dalmatinsko-japanski spoj. Domaća svježa riba dobiva sasvim nove okuse kada se spaja s japanskom kulinarskom tradicijom. Nisu svi otočani odmah prihvatili ovakvu novost, ali danas je Srdela Snack svakako jedan od

Srdela Snack - Mix of Adriatic and Japan

Nigiri, Akami, Gunkan, rolled… what is the chance to get great Japanese sushi on a Dalmatian island? It is possible only in Kali, on the island of Ugljan, where the company Kali Tuna took over the concept of the usual blue fish snack and turned it into a unique Dalmatian-Japanese combination. Homemade fresh fish gets completely new flavours when combined with Japanese culinary tradition. Not all islanders immediately accepted this new taste, but today Srdela Snack is certainl

Kali Tuna - šampion okusa tune

U rano ljetno jutro, dok turisti i stanovnici mjesta Kali još uvijek nerazbuđeno razmišljaju o svom danu, velika je užurbanost u luci Lamjana. Pripremaju se brodovi, ukrcava se svježa i zamrznuta srdela i lokarda, a u svoj punini na jutarnjem suncu svijetle ponosni ribarski brodovi tvrtke Kali Tuna: Neptun I i Neptun II, te Hrvatski uspjeh. Ovi prizori ponavljaju se iz dana u dan, ali uvijek s nekom novinom. Ovog puta je to bila naša posjeta farmi tuna, po kojoj je Kali Tuna

Kali Tuna - Champion of Tuna Taste

In the early summer morning, while tourists and residents of Kali are still unawakened thinking about their day, there is a great stir in the port of Lamjana. Ships are being prepared, fresh and frozen sardines are being loaded, and the proud tuna fishing boats of the Kali Tuna company are shining in their fullness in the morning sun: Neptun I and Neptun II, and Croatian Success. These scenes are repeated from day to day, but always with some novelty. This time it was our vis

Cromaris - a tasty and healthy source of white fish

Few will say with certainty what is in Croatian podlanica, zlatulja or štrigavica, although these are the names given to one of the noblest species of Adriatic white fish - sea bream. Close second, on the Croatian fish menus, sea bass follows, and the tasty and healthy trio makes more and more meagre. This fish is so delicious and pliable for gastronomy that the whole range of restaurant and hotel offers is based on good breeding. And that is exactly why we set off by boat fr

Cromaris - ukusan i zdrav izvor bijele ribe

Malo tko će sa sigurnošću reći što je podlanica, zlatulja ili štrigavica, iako se radi o imenima dodijeljenima jednoj od najplemenitijih vrsta jadranske bijele ribe – oradi. U stopu je, na hrvatskim ribljim jelovnicima, slijedi brancin, a ukusni i zdravi trojac čini sve više i hama. Ova je riba toliko ukusna i podatna za gastronomiju da se cijeli niz ponuda restorana i hotela zasniva na dobrom uzgoju. I upravo stoga smo se barkom otisnuli iz uvale Mala Lamjana, na otoku Uglja

Kali - a place of fishermen and sailors

The late spring sun scorched us well after the rain. We feel a whiff of summer as Ina Kolega, director of the Tourist Board of the Municipality of Kali and myself climb through the olive groves and the Way of the Cross to the lookout point from which a beautiful view spreads over the town of Kali, on the island of Ugljan. Near Zadar, Ugljan is known as the island of olives, but Kali is known for its fishing, written in the genes of Kali people. Not only is the hilly area arou

Kali - mjesto ribara i pomoraca

Kasnoproljetno sunce je dobrano zapržilo nakon kiše. Osjećamo dašak ljeta dok se Ina Kolega, direktorica Turističke zajednice Općine Kali i ja penjemo kroz maslinike i križni put do vidikovca s kojega puca predivan pogled na mjesto Kali, na otoku Ugljanu. U neposrednoj blizini Zadra, Ugljan je poznat kao otok maslina, ali Kali su poznate po svom ribarstvu, zapisanom u genima Kaljana. Nije samo uokrug mjesta brdovito, već su i same Kali sagrađene na brdašcu. Prolazak kroz viju

Ugljan - the Olive Island

Ugljan is known as the Olive Island. It seems its very name suggests so. In the ancient times, the island was known as Olio – meaning oil (who would guess that?!) and in time it changed in Ulian/Uljan (ulje is also the word for oil in Croatian). By some unusual logic of old Croats, the letter „g“ is added and now we can enjoy the Mediterranean beauty of island of Ugljan, which is full of olive groves and small fields. A very green island, Ugljan is also known as the Zadar's g

OPG Škopić - The Awarded Olive Oil of Ugljan

To sit in the house of Mr. Vojko Škopić and talk to him, his wife, and his mother, is a time well spent. Time well spent was also idea of Mr Vojko at the time he retired. He devoted this time to gardening and olive growing. As usual, this hobby turned to be a job by itself and quite soon Mr. Vojko became the biggest olive oil producer on the island of Ugljan. In the picturesque part of the island, the family cares for some 250 olive trees, which give between five and six tons

Điran - The Flower of Ugljan's Heritage

Ugljan hides many traditional customs, but the most interesting ones are to be found in the Association Điran, named after a favourite flower on the island. The association gathers the women and some men from Ugljan and protects the traditions of the old from this part of the island. We talk to Mrs. Ingrid and Mrs. Sjajna from Điran in the association's headquarters in Ugljan. Here they show us a typical Ugljan female folk costume. Among pictures adorning the space we notice

Konoba Ugljan - Place of Islanders' Delights

After a hard day's work in the olive groves, the best thing is to relax and try some very old recipes on the island of Ugljan. Just, we didn't really pick the olives this time. We were roaming throughout the island, visiting the beautiful St. Jerome's monastery and learning about the folklore tradition in the place of Ugljan. Despite its name, this place is not the centre of the island (it is Preko), but it is the biggest and quite different from all the other places on Uglja

Drobnica - the keeper of olive growers' tradition in Preko

In the peaceful little port of Preko, overlooking the islet of Galovac, Mrs. Mladenka Mašina opens the rustic iron door and lets us in the old olive oil factory. Once it was a museum dedicated to the tradition of olive oil making on the island of Ugljan, but today it waits for better times and renovation. Sometimes it may be open and tourists may learn more about the techniques and ways to produce extra-virgin olive oils. Mrs. Mladenka was kind enough to open the place for us
