Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Half-moon Polish dumplings filled with poached Baltic cod and fresh dill, served boiled with melted butter or pan-fried golden. A specifically coastal pierogi variant.
Pierogi are a pan-Polish dish, but the cod filling belongs to the Gdańsk coast where Baltic dorsz has been a kitchen staple since the Hanseatic period of the 14th to 17th centuries. The fish was salt-cured for winter and folded into yeast-free dumpling dough as a Friday-fast meal. Pierogarnia Stary Młyn carries a cod pierog on the menu; Cała Naprzód runs a chopped-zander pierogi when the boats land it; Goldwasser and Restauracja Filharmonia rotate seasonal versions.
