Mussels & Debit – The perfect pairing for the Šibenik table

Some flavors have their own home. The Šibenik mussel is one of them. Grown where the sea meets the fresh water of the Krka River, this shellfish has long deserved more than just a spot on the menu.

The "Mussels & Debit" event is an annual celebration dedicated to the finest pairing on the Šibenik table. The Šibenik mussel is a story all its own. Raised in waters where the sea blends with the flow of the Krka River, it develops a texture and flavor you won't find anywhere else.

Mussels pair naturally with Debit. As the most widespread white wine variety in the Šibenik region, it is fresh, light, and characterized by delicate aromas and low alcohol content. It is a wine that doesn't need a special occasion, as it is made for relaxed summer gatherings and seafood dishes.

Every year, restaurateurs and mussel farmers compete in creativity, offering visitors both classics like buzara and risotto, as well as entirely new, surprising dishes that showcase the full potential of this humble shellfish. Local wineries join in with various expressions of Debit and other indigenous varieties, while the musical program rounds out the atmosphere with warm, lively energy. "Mussels & Debit" is an event through which Šibenik celebrates what the sea and the land have to offer.
