It is an exquisite fish soup, prepared on the basis of a vegetable stock. It consists of the most delicate part of fish - salmon and cod steaks, fucus (sea veggie) - a nutritious, but underrated alga and Baltic salmon caviar. A note of sea aroma is highlighted by the addition of amber tincture, which, apart from bringing out the taste values, allows the dish to stay fresh and tasty longer.
The soup was served in the years 1920-1930 in Gdynia, and is currently prepared during the World Amber Catching Championships in Jantar and at the Pomeranian Culinary Academy in Gdańsk. The recipe was developed by Andrzej Ławniczak.
