recruiterg, photos are taken at my friend's house where I rent an apartment when I go to Lastovo. He built the fireplace himself.

Hi Marko.
Looks like you found paradise. Do you also cook spiny lobster in the outdoor fireplace? |

Wow..The pictures are beautiful.
I haven't tasted octopus, since the time I got the nerve to try a piece from a tin.(The experience, and taste was so off-putting.) However, the way you have prepared this dish looks so tantalizingly delicious! |

 Answer is no, on Lastovo only turists order grilled lobster. I prefer lobster simply cooked or in tomato sauce with spaghetti. |

This beauty was caught the day before leaving, so I had no time to freeze it. It was tasty, but not tender. Like overdone steak.

Marko, excellent pictures and now I know where I will spend my next vacation whenever that happens. Interesting fishing tackle for Octopus. How exactly does he fish for them? Ami

This post isn't about recipes, it's a touching story that explains very well why people fell in love with this island:
