Since 2002, the Brekalo couple have been running their fish shop, complemented by a fish restaurant. As Chef Nikica Brekalo likes to point out, the daily catch of Croatian fishermen is at the heart of this unique seafood corner.
In Delfin restaurant in Kranj, you can find fresh red mullet, sole, smelt, sardine, anchovies, hake, seabass, gilthead, mussels, Adriatic squid, octopus, etc. As for freshwater fish, you can buy trout from the Vodomec fish farm in the Gorenjska region.
The Delfin fish shop and restaurant is rated POP in the Gault & Millau Slovenia 2022 culinary guide.
Chef Nikica Brekalo, who is very proud of his Dalmatian and Primorska roots, will prepare the fish of your choice right on the spot. Chef Brekalo is the one who, following his mother’s and grandmother’s recipe, makes probably the best fish stew around and also cooks up a really great fish soup.
His wife Katarina Bežek Brekalo is in charge of the service in this harmonious seafood duo. She pours you a glass of white or red wine from the Brda winemaker Zlatko Mavrič’s cellar to go with your fish of choice, and, if you like, she’ll kindly add a tried-and-tested recipe. They even published many excellent seafood recipes on their website.
“As the catch varies daily, we recommend making a reservation,” they like to emphasise.
