About this tour
This session walks through Sopot's covered market hall, trading here since the early twentieth century. You see the general stalls and the fish counter specifically, and I explain which catches come from this stretch of coast. It stays inside one working building rather than the seafront.
I start with a sound check near the entrance, then move stall by stall towards the fish counter, explaining what is local along the way. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on what is in season.
This suits anyone curious about everyday food shopping rather than restaurants. It also works well alongside the herring call for a fuller picture of Baltic fish.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Sopot, showing you Inside Hala Targowa and The Fish Counter live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
