It has been planned for years, and last week it finally happened: the first Dalmatian fish market, “Gastro Fisch Brač” opened in Vienna. In Neubau, one of the more prestigious neighborhoods in Vienna, just a couple of minutes walk away from the main square partners Ivo and Toni Bartulović and Milan Prgomet, opened the first Austrian branch of their famous chain of fish markets, that operate all over Dalmatia. 

They got the idea in 2016 and started working on the project in 2018 after they managed to find the appropriate location for their shop. They promised their buyers that the fish will be coming to the shop from the Adriatic 12 to 24 hours after being taken out of the sea. In addition to fish, the buyers will be able to purchase many specialties made from fish and other seafood in this dalmatian fish market.

The opening of the fish market took place on January 12th, and many Croatian as well as Austrian people from the hospitality business, as well as many seafood lovers, came to welcome the novelty to their city. The future buyers got the chance to taste some of the goodies they will be able to purchase in the dalmatian fish market in the center of Vienna in the future. The main attraction of the opening evening was the bluefin tuna, filleted and served by Ivica Katić, the chef in the Zoi restaurant in Split. For years this delicacy, expensive and demanding to breed, was exclusively exported to the Japanese market, which is always looking for more high-quality tuna. Only recently have the Gastro Fisch Brač fish markets in Dalmatia, and now in Austria, started offering the tuna to their buyers.
