But despite all those small disagreements, summer is a beautiful season! Mostly because the vacation is almost here but also because of all the dishes and recipes which are reserved for those days on the Croatian coast and islands.<\/p><p>In that honor, I want to present all those dishes which are a part of Croatian classic summer menu. And yes, most of them are based on the fish and seafood, but hey, it is summer, and it is about time to indulge in all those Mediterranean flavors!<\/p><p>So which dishes are a must during the summer?
