Cuttlefish ink actually has a taste. It gives the dish that sweetness and umami flavor. It's a dish that everybody should try when in Croatia. Just make sure you pick a good seafood restaurant.
Your decision to employ local guides while expensive for you does set you apart from other travellers and really takes your content to another level. And never apologise for following Anthony Bourdain...it shows class!!!
Very cool! Been to Split a few times. Beautiful historic city especially the old town / palace. The restaurants along the waterfront serve superb seafood and the olive oil in Croatia is strong!! Food you both tried looked so yummy 😋
Great video but I have one tip for you. The Balkan region is named after a mountain in Bulgaria and includes the areas south of the Sava River that were under the control of the Ottoman Empire, which is more or less Bosnia and the territory east of it. Croatia and Vojvodina (a region in the north of Serbia) were an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time that name was created, and that name does not apply to them. I would recommend you to avoid the name Balkan for Croatia because you will not make anyone in Croatia happy. Most Croats will politely say nothing and will not correct you when you use the name Balkan because we are used to tourists being ignorant of names, but that does not mean they are happy about it and depending on the context it can be an insult. Instead of that name, I would recommend you to use the word region or Southeast Europe, I would recommend the same advice for Greece or Slovenia.
While you absolutely right when it comes to history of regions on Balkan Peninsula, due to a primitive, savage-like mentality of people that come from Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo etc. most of ex Yugoslavia countries have became Balkan like in mentality because the natives that live in ex Habsburg countries were very mild in mentality and they were over run by Balkanic tribes
Finally a smart Croat. I thought I was the only one. Balkan is the worst insult someone can give to a Croat and it's so sad that new generations took the name so easily and even identify with it 🤦😢
People are not interested to learn new things about history.They only wont to be tourists and eat good food.Not every nation wants to learn and remember facts.But he said Sea,not ocean and that is progress😊
I loved your videos from Bosnia and so I am interested how you will spend your time in Croatia :) ... The Croatian Adriatic coast does have more of an Italian feel than the typical Balkan which you felt in Bosnia. And the inland of Croatia which actualy stands north from Bosnia is also different, more of a Hungarian mixed with Austrian influences, also in local cuisine there which might taste more simmilar to the tastes an English person is used to, like roasts and stwes, and river fish, plum rakija, oldest beer and 4 oldest/largest wineries in Croatia :)
@@meduzsazsa8490 of course it is Croatia has several regions and it just completely normal that at the Sea they are more mediterranen and also the food but go to croats in Herzegovina or bosnia Same in slavonija every Region has is own History
Matt, all I can is I am sooo glad you were open to trying the cuttlefish. Proud of you! And I’m even happier that you liked it 😊 It is one of my favorite dishes and I order whenever possible throughout the world. A few high end restaurants used to serve here in Los Angeles but haven’t seen on any menu post pandemic 😢
@@travelingkakabsat it was so interesting, apparantly loads of people don’t like it lol! Looks like you need to take a trip to split and eat at this restaurant 😃
I was born in Split but live in Canada except over the summer which i spend in Split. Croatian food overall is ok but the food you get in restaurants is overpriced for what you get. You have to be careful or they will rob you blind. Honestly the best deal you will get is ordering pizza or cevape. Even when you are in coffee shops you need to be careful because some of them have tourist prices and locals prices.
Hello my Idols im late watching now im watching now so beautiful place thank you for showing us appreciate for your hard work and you guys are so brave to very nice and always eating the delicious foods always enjoy and be safe have a wonderful weekend take care 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌
We always found it helpful when doing a foodie tour around the world, a guide is all so useful. They help in guiding you through that culinary paradise. It looks like you guys have found it useful. And Matt , when did you start eating fish ? I thought you didn't like fish. And molly, did you eat the fish with ink or try it ? Harriet and I would try anything at least once. We once eat grasshoppers in Japan. hmm crunchy. All the best mate Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Absolutely brilliant reviews.. I am in the process of planning my trip to Split and the Balkans across September/October. It looks magical and the food looks amazing
It is in Herzegovina, not Bosnia and Herzegovina is named after Croatian noblemans which carried title Herzeg like Herzeg Stjepan Vukčić Kosaća, with whom I am related, but I am Bosnian, I am Hrvatin from Vukčić family like Bosnian Ban Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić, who established Croatian royal town Jajce, the only one town in world with waterfall in it! It's like saying London is in Wales, c'mon learn some geography, they should teach you by now, like many things, since you Turks pretend to be Slavs, Bosniaks! God bless! 🕊️⚜️⚜️⚜️🕊️
Omg We didnt know we will eat such Balkan food in Dalmatia. Stop embarassing yourself. Can you remove this video? Dalmatia is not Balkan ,burek or rakija. So ignorant.Awfull
From Portugal to France and Italy include spain have the culture of ham and salame (charcuterie) but befenetley not greece but Croatia is a country having a lot of influence on Italy having that same culture for sure keep that in mind matt
guys looool, so never put salt on prsut coz its already salted before its dryed and also please dont use olive oil on prsut aswell XD dont get me wrong but its so funny coz its so wrong XDD i hope you liked here and come again
Ignore the other croats, we're balkan. Well partially balkan, the south ie where Split is, is in the balkans. Balkan is also not an insult. If the nordic can be scandinavians and those other 3 the baltics, I dont see the problem of belonging to a european sub region, ie the balkans. Im proud of our little region
We had two days in Split and I guess i didn't really do my reaserch. You've shown me places I wish we would have visited. All the best, keep "Crocing" away, lol The Crocs thing is just an inside joke at my local gym, so I hope no offense is taken.
They look totally ignorant about Croatia.I bet they didnt read anything about country before departing from Bosnia. Burek Balkan and rakija.Thats not Croatia especially Dalnatia Two ignorant people wanna be travel bloggers people
The culinary experience in Split, Croatia, was somewhat underwhelming when compared to the exceptional dining options in Prague, which I had the pleasure of visiting recently.
The south is in the balkan. But the difference in food is the occupator influence. Zagreb and north is more austro hungarian. Split and Dalmatia is venetian influenced
I love you both, my favorite travel youtuber!!!!❤🔥 And, Matt looks like the hunk who would bully me in high school, but you're actually a very sweet guy! 😂👍
Lol it's so sad that more and more new croatian generations start to identify with that Balkan. Today not even 10 seconds of any croatian youtube video/shorts can pass without youtubers mentioning either Balkan or themselves as "Balkaners". It's so sad
@@meduzsazsa8490 Yugoslavia has better first league soccers then current soccers first league and of course basketball league. Everyone speaks the same language,eating the same food, last names too.

@@briansimic2403 we have cevapi and rakija thanks to Turks, not because we're alike 💀 And it's not my opinion, there are really 4 languages.

Yugoslavia as an idea was everything but good and the best way is to be seperate countries like we always used to be. Croats also share a lot with Slovenians, Hungarians, Austrians, Czechs and Slovaks, a lot more actually than we share with Serbs, Macedonians and Bulgarians, but I would not want Austria-Hungary to come back 💀

Maybe because only small portion of Croatia is the Balkan region, not the whole country. Hence the food difference.
@@tomislavb.5470 very true!
Croatia is entirely NOT in the Balkan. Not a single part of Croatia is in Balkan. Neither part of Croatia was occupied by Turks for 400-500 years
The south is in the balkan. But the difference in food is the occupator influence. Zagreb and north is more austro hungarian. Split and Dalmatia is venetian influenced
