The first and most famous legend tells that the apostle St. Peter caught this fish without tools and that the black spots on the fish’s body are traces of his fingers. This is how the name St. Peter’s fish came to be, as well as its Italian name, famous in the world of culinary art – San Pietro.

The second legend is associated with the term blacksmith. Zeus’ horses lost their horseshoes, and they had to descend from the sky to the shore. Zeus then ordered Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, to shoe them, but he refused. At that, Zeus decided to shoe his own horses. He sat on the shore and saw a fish. He ate the fish and used its bones to make tools: he took pliers from the top of its head, a hammer from its jaw, an anvil from its cheek, and nails from thorns. He shod his horses and called the fish the blacksmith of Zeus.

The fish loved by many gods became a favorite among people. Its characteristic taste has won it the adoration of many. Chefs of the restaurant ZAK combined it with vegetables and a lemon, garlic, and olive oil sauce. This combination turned out to be a hit. Guests praise it and it is regularly prepared in the restaurant. Aside from San Pietro, the restaurant is proud of its menu with a rich selection of fish specialties. The long tradition of this restaurant and its experienced chefs have made it possible for ZAK to prepare some of the most luxurious and demanding seafood dishes every day. We are especially proud of our lobster, but we must not forget the dentex – one of the healthiest and rarest fish species.

Treat yourself to a break from standard cuisine and dare to try something new and special.
