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, anchor of the Tokarska seafood strip.
Baltic halibut has anchored the Pomeranian luxury-fish trade since medieval times. Zafishowani made it the room's argument when it opened on Tokarska; Targ Rybny - Fishmarkt sources from the same boats. Season runs strongest May to September.
