One doesn’t typically expect much from the most touristy street in Warsaw, but a seafood loving friend’s recommendation about Czarnomorka led me to this hidden gem. Ukrainians have found solace here, thanks to a reputable fish supplier who relocated her business amidst the chaos of invasion. If you’re in the know, you’ll want to make the trip to this spectacular spot with friends. The sheer variety is astounding, and as you step inside, you’re greeted by oysters kept fresh in an aquarium—wince-worthy if you poke them with a fork. For a real splurge, go for the Rolls-Royce of oysters, the “Gillardeau,” marked with their trademark laser-etched “G” on the shell. Or, try the Forszmak ze śledzia, a herring paste that’s both salty and delicate, pairing perfectly with vodka and good company.
