A combination of fishing and cuisine on the island of Lastovo.

This week WWF Adria and Hook and Cook crew organized an event for local small scale fisheries on Lastovo island. Hook and Cook is a team of professional fishers and chefs who are catching and producing sardines and seafood while educating people on seafood sustainability, traceability and fishing tools. They are not only successful fishers but are also owners of a seafood restaurant as well as organizers of a unique street seafood and music festival based on high-quality domestic seafood products.
One of the leading Hook and Cook members and captain Siniša Pavlović presented their story, while the chef Oliver Mijić prepared their popular seafood dinner for the event participants. The idea behind the event was to present to Lastovo fishers various possibilities of diversifying their incomes. Local fishers showed big interest in the creative approach to the market and brainstormed their own possibilities for the future. In summary, we had a nice evening, delicious food and many great ideas to develop!
