Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Cream-finished Pomeranian fish soup built on a stock of Baltic cod, pike-perch and herring, often with mussels added when in season. The everyday-luxury soup of the Tri-City.
The Kashubian fishing villages have built fish soup on whatever the day's catch yielded; the cream-and-mussel version solidified in Gdańsk restaurants through the Free City era between the two World Wars. The base is always cod, Baltic herring or pike-perch trimmings, slow-simmered with leek, carrot, potato and a finishing splash of cream. Witómë and Restauracja Filharmonia run the most committed versions today, with seasonal additions of fresh mussels when the boats land them.
