Bonito

Locally referred to as “Polanda”, the Atlantic Bonito is a fast-swimming species with distinctive dark, oblique stripes along its upper body. They are commonly found in the open sea but approach the coast during certain seasons. Bonito has firm, dark meat with a pronounced flavor, making it ideal for grilling or as a component in hearty stews. In Croatia, it is also preserved in olive oil or used in salads.
