Squid, or lignje as it is called in Croatia, is one of the most popular dishes tourists order when on the Croatian coast. 

Whether it’s fresh squid – which is always best dusted with a bit of flour and fried, local Adriatic squid on the grill, or even frozen California or Patagonian squid fried, it can go great with a side of either potato salad, fries or blitva.  

Now that the summer is over, local culinary portal Dobra hrana went on the pursuit to find the best options in Zagreb for fried squid. Here is their list of the best five places in town.

Amfora

If you want to eat completely fresh fish at the lowest price in Zagreb, then Amfora is the place to eat. The most expensive, the so-called first class fish, 100 kuna. Squid fried or grilled with a side dish you will pay 45 kuna.
