True gourmets consider the pilgrim scallop of Novigrad, or kapešante as it is called locally, to be one of the tastiest shellfish in the world, because it grows in the Novigrad marine area where salty seawater mixes with fresh river water.

Planning a visit to Novigrad? Then be sure to try one of the dishes prepared with kapešante, as locals call the Mediterranean scallops, in one of the numerous Novigrad restaurants. Taste this exquisite shellfish in its purest form, grilled for about ten minutes, with a drop of supreme local olive oil, some quality white wine such as Malvasia and a pinch of salt. Bon appétit!
