Seafood Dining Tips
Choosing Fresh Fish
Look for clear eyes, red gills, and firm flesh. Most restaurants display the daily catch - don't hesitate to ask your waiter for recommendations based on what's freshest.
Local Preparation Styles
Try fish prepared "tava" (fried), "ızgara" (grilled), or "buğulama" (steamed). Salt-baked whole fish is a local specialty that preserves moisture and flavor.
Pro Tip: Fish is typically priced by weight in Turkey. Ask for the price per kilogram and the approximate weight before ordering to avoid surprises.
