Targ Rybny Fishmarkt

Targ Rybny Fishmarkt is a seafood restaurant at ul. Targ Rybny 6C in Gdańsk's Main Town, on the old Fish Market (Targ Rybny) beside the Motława river. The Fish Market area was historically where the city's catch was sold, and today it is a popular waterfront spot near the Crane and the Gdańsk waterfront promenade. The restaurant draws on that heritage, offering seafood in a setting that places diners close to the river and the old port atmosphere that gives Gdańsk much of its character.

The menu centres on fresh fish plates and seafood dishes. Specific dishes depend on the day's supply and the current menu, so visitors should treat the signature offering as fish prepared in straightforward styles, such as grilled or pan-fried fillets served with sides, rather than a fixed list of named dishes. Baltic fish such as cod and salmon are common in Pomeranian cooking, but the available selection should be confirmed on the day.

The atmosphere is casual and unfussy, suited to a relaxed lunch or dinner during a day of sightseeing. In summer the waterfront location draws large numbers of visitors, and the area can be lively and noisy, while off-season visits are calmer. The setting works well for families, couples and groups travelling together, and for those wanting a quick but satisfying seafood meal without a formal dining room.

Prices are moderate, roughly 60-140 PLN (about $16-37 USD) per person depending on the dishes and drinks. Walk-ins are generally accepted, although large groups should reserve by phone, particularly at weekends and in the high season from June to August. Beer and simple wines are the usual accompaniment. Because the Fish Market sits next to major sights including the Crane and the Motława promenade, the restaurant is convenient to combine with a river walk or a visit to the nearby National Maritime Museum.
