Baltic halibut · Gdańsk

Whole or fillet halibut from the Baltic, the prized white fish of Pomerania, usually grilled or pan-roasted with brown butter and dill. The most-asked plate at every Gdańsk fish restaurant on the Tokarska strip.

Baltic halibut has anchored the Pomeranian luxury-fish trade since medieval times, when the Gdańsk fish guild held a monopoly on the inland trade. The Hanseatic merchants shipped salt-cured halibut across northern Europe. Zafishowani made it the room's argument when it opened on Tokarska; Targ Rybny Fishmarkt sources from the same Hel Peninsula boats. Season runs strongest May to September, when the larger flatfish move closer to shore.
