Good news for respected Croatian General Ante Gotovina as his tuna company signs a contract with a Metro, which will now result in his company's top quality fish ending up exclusively on Croatia's shelves for the hotel and catering industry.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 6th of February, 2019, with a presentation of the methods of the processing and the preparation of the popular bluefin Adriatic tuna, visitors to the Adriatic Gastro Show will get acquainted with the famous culinary presentation of the well-known "Batelina" chef David Skoko.

At today's Adriatic Gastro Show held in the Dalmatian capital of Split, Metro will introduce the newest product on its already very rich shelves to caterers, hoteliers and all those who work in the field - the Adriatic bluefin tuna.

As Slobodna Dalmacija reported, Metro and Pelagos net farm, the company belonging to General Ante Gotovina, have now signed a cooperation agreement for the sale of the sought-after fish. Metro will offer bluefin sushi/sashimi quality tuna, which will be distributed and made readily available to professional Metro customers in wholesale centres throughout the Republic of Croatia, meaning that it will be being sold exclusively on the Croatian market.

''We're proud that Metro can boast of [this type of] cooperation which makes us the exclusive supplier of Adriatic bluefin tuna from Pelagos net farm for the Croatian HoReCa market. Metro cooperates with numerous restaurants and hotels all over the Republic of Croatia, so we're continually trying to improve our range to offer them the best products according to international culinary trends.

Make sure to stay up to date with not only Ante Gotovina's business, but with Croatian companies, products and services, as well as doing business in Croatia, and the overall business and investment climate by following our dedicated Made in Croatia and business pages.
