John Dory

Locally called “Šampjer”, John Dory is an unusual-looking fish with a distinctive large, dark spot on its side, which is said to confuse predators. It has a laterally compressed body and an elongated dorsal fin. John Dory is found in coastal waters and is renowned for its delicate, sweet-flavored meat. It is often pan-fried, grilled, or used in fine seafood dishes in Croatian gastronomy.
