A simple dish
Balık ekmek means fish and bread. Its appeal is cooked fish, bread and fresh accompaniments rather than elaborate restaurant presentation.
The waterfront context
Eminönü and the Golden Horn provide a familiar setting for this street-food tradition. Fishing, markets and daily travel meet in the same urban space.
Ask what is served
Fish, sauces and accompaniments vary. Confirm ingredients with the establishment; a Bosphorus sightseeing programme does not automatically include a tasting.
