Pickled Baltic herring fillets dressed with sour cream, raw red onion, diced apple and hard-boiled egg, the canonical Kashubian starter at every Pomeranian table from Gdańsk to Hel.
Pomeranian fishing villages have salted and pickled Baltic herring since the medieval Hanseatic period; the cream-apple-onion version belongs to the Kashubian ethnographic region and entered Gdańsk restaurants alongside Polish migration after 1945. The dish appears on the menu at Restauracja Kubicki (open since 1918) in a form close to the interwar Free City of Danzig version.
