Once upon a time, it was genuinely a local joint where fishermen, students and workers could chow down massive portions of fried fish and wash it down with good local wine.<\/p><div id=\"croat-921120785\" class=\"croat-content croat-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4787844071747328\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4787844071747328\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7926307719\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those days are past. On a recent visit, I saw no locals whatsoever but plenty of tourists bent over their smartphones taking advantage of the restaurant&#8217;s free, fast WiFi connection. Thanks to its renown, Buffet Fife has now expanded to include a spacious terrace. The long, family-style tables are still there which makes dining convivial. It&#8217;s a good place to meet other travellers to swap stories and tips.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2263\" src=\"http:\/\/croatiatraveller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fife2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/croatiatraveller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fife2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/croatiatraveller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/fife2-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a good place to sample authentic Dalmatian food however. I began with a &#8220;fish soup&#8221; that really meant undercooked rice in a fish stock. Unimpressive. The black risotto I sampled on a recent visit was the worst I&#8217;ve ever had. Yes, the portion was so massive I couldn&#8217;t finish it but also there was something off about the taste that made me not want to.<\/p><div id=\"croat-1729817781\" class=\"croat-content_2 croat-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4787844071747328\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4787844071747328\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7926307719\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Because the risotto came so quickly, it was obvious that it had been cooked earlier and only heated up. I noticed that other dishes also came out of the kitchen in a hurry which made me suspect that freshness had been compromised.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are low, that&#8217;s for sure. But here&#8217;s the thing: fresh fish, calamari and Adriatic shrimp are necessarily expensive in Croatia because fishermen with boats have to go out and find them. If I&#8217;m seeing a big plate of fish and seafood for under \u00e2\u201a\u00ac10 I have to assume they come from a freezer.<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis here is on fried fish, meat, potatoes and rice. Portions are big enough that you won&#8217;t go away hungry but for just a few kuna more you can eat much better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.croatiatraveller.com\/central%20dalmatia\/Split\/Restaurants.htm\">See more dining suggestions in Split<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Buffet Fife is conveniently located at\u00c2\u00a0Trumbiceva Obala 11 on the edge of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.croatiatraveller.com\/central%20dalmatia\/Split\/Hotels\/VeliVaros.html\">Veli Varos<\/a> neighborhood.
