Zlatna Ribica

Well worth the 8-km (five-mile) taxi ride from Šibenik, this gourmet institution still provides consistent excellence in the seafood arena. The covered terrace has a scenic view to the island of Krapanj, while the interior comes with floral decor. The meal starts with a bread basket and home-made fish pâté, followed by your pick of fish from the big platter at the entrance. If in doubt, order the excellent gilthead sea bream or sea bass with blitva or the fish platter for two. The family also run a small simple hotel behind the restaurant – the half- or full-board here is one of the best gastronomic deals in the Adriatic.
