Looters Guide only covers from Gdansk and to the west. The Vistula estuary and parts east (including Elblag) aren't included.

With regards to nukes, Elblag has some industry worth nuking, but given the relatively shallow canal (vessels of a draft greater than 1.5 metres aren't allowed) it would seem unlikely to be a high priority. However, the Pact may have been desperate to rebuild some vague notion of naval power in the Baltic and Elblag is capable of building torpedo boats and the like....

A seaport near the Vistula Lagoon, it has shipyards, machinery plants, and an important metallurgical industry.

Elblag’s industries include heavy machine building (the manufacture of turbines, ship equipment, reducers, and metalworking tools), transportation machine building, food processing, and the manufacture of clothes and wood products.
Honestly, I'm torn on whether or not to nuke the city. There's arguments both for and against spending a warhead, but given tactical nukes were used to attack military units in the field, and Czestochowa attracted a warhead even after it had been subjected to at least one nuclear demo charge...
