Food / Pescaterian food in Poland? [16]

Howdy y'all....

I was born and grew up in Gliwice, but haven't been back in over 18 years. Planning a trip there next year but have given up red meat & poultry. I would imagine there's not much that I can eat since the food I remember is very meat-orientated..

Can anyone recomend any pescaterian (no mammals or birds) food in Poland? Any restaurants that anyone can recomend in Warszawa, Gliwice, Wroclaw or Zakopane?

Thanks for your reply.

Basically any Polish specialities that do not involve meat (seafood is OK). I seem to remember growing up in Gliwice that almost everything (including soups like Zurek or even Barscz sometimes has pork products). Really want to try as much Polish cuizine as possible but was worried that wife and I will be confined to Pizza Hut. :)

Thanks both, I do remember pierogi well and they're on my list to try again, especially the cheese & potato ones which I remember to be delicious. :)

@Raijin - Am checking out your link now, looks good!

@Seanus - I think I remember quite a bit, the main street, my old school. I grew up on a street called Mieleckiego, near-ish to the city centre and my school was close by. I also remember going mushroom picking in a nearby forest (would LOVE to try that again!), and a small "lake" type district about half an hour's drive from Gliwice (where one could swim, tan etc - I wonder if it's still there?). I remember a few cinemas as well, and a park nearby the town square that was always covered in bird ****, haha!

Actually both Pławniowice & Zywiec ring a bell. Zywiec is more like a few small lakes, right? I definitely might ask you for some advice/directions when I am there in August. And yeah, I do eat eggs.

I remember the Polytechnika as well, just on the other side of town. My father used to lecture there and I remember taking walks in a very small forest / park near by.

I'm REALLY interested how things have changed since 1990, I'm sure that I'm going to be rather surprised! :)

Is the train station still at the top of the main street in the centre? There used to be a rather smelly river running through the centre as well.

Is tram still a decent way to get around?

@frd - Thanks for the link, looks good.

Pity about the trams. How does one get around then? Buses / taxis? Is that expensive?

The Kłodnica river.... aaah... it's all coming back to me now!
