Balık Ekmek

What you see below is the most fabulous value for money to be had anywhere in Istanbul- Balık Ekmek! You can find it at Kadeköy, Karaköy, Eminönü... Anywhere there is a ferry dock: It is grilled fish (as good as any in the expensive restaurants) served with your choice of compliments (parsley, tomato, onion, lemon, red pepper flakes) all in a fresh sandwich roll! Add a drink and the total comes to $3 YTL. Seems an especially good deal after paying $18 YTL for the lousiest Iskender kebab and a mineral water in Sultanahmet yesterday. I should have looked at the menu prices before ordering... or gone back to Karaköy
