Zafishowani

Zafishowani is a Baltic seafood restaurant at ul. Tokarska 6 in Gdańsk's Main Town, near the Motława river. Its name is a Polish play on the word for fish, and the menu centres on fish and seafood in a city whose identity has long been tied to the Baltic Sea and its fishing and trading history. What sets it apart from some riverfront seafood venues is an attached wine shop, which allows diners to pair dishes with bottles from the shop's selection.

The cooking focuses on Baltic fish and other seafood, with dishes varying according to what is available. Because the menu depends on supply and season, visitors should treat the signature dishes as Baltic fish preparations and seafood plates rather than a fixed list. Fish popular in Pomeranian cooking, such as cod, herring and salmon, commonly feature in the region, though the current menu should be checked for specifics.

The dining room is relaxed and approachable, more casual than a formal fine-dining room but with a more considered feel than a quick seafood stand. The wine-shop connection gives the venue a wine-forward character, and diners interested in wine can ask the staff for guidance on matching bottles with fish. Noise levels are moderate, and the space suits couples, friends and small groups.

Prices are mid-range for Gdańsk, around 80-170 PLN (about $21-45 USD) per person depending on dishes and wine. Opening hours are listed as Monday to Saturday 13:00-23:00 and Sunday 13:00-21:00. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly on weekends and in summer, and can be made through the restaurant's website or by phone. Lunch and early-evening visits are generally easier for walk-in seating. The ul. Tokarska location is close to the Fish Market area and the waterfront, so it combines naturally with a walk along the Motława.
