Everything started with the sea – the family story of Oli Mare

Our Emil has been diving since he was a child. In 1990 he founded his own company and has dedicated his life to fishing and shellfish farming ever since. His love for the sea inspired the creation of our restaurant – a place where the freshest catch goes straight from the sea to your plate.

Together with his team of fishermen he builds a story of tradition, quality and dedication every single day. Shellfish farming demands patience and constant care, while diving requires knowledge gathered over years, often decades.

Pictures speak louder than words: a 30 kg catch was brought up from the sea in a single dive, using only two diving tanks. Those who understand the sea and underwater fishing know how demanding this is and how much experience stands behind such an achievement.

That is why there are no anonymous ingredients at Oli Mare Fish & Wine. We know who caught the fish, where the shellfish grew and when the olive oil was pressed – because all of it is part of one family story.

We are proud of it and we love to share it with our guests. Come to Poreč, take a seat at the table and let the sea tell you the rest of the story.
