Relish the season with ‘fish’!

The city of Istanbul, along with its historical and natural riches, attracts attention with its cuisine that emanates from various cultures. Especially the fish meals and mezes prepared from the delights of the sea that caught from the Black Sea or the Marmara constitutes an integral part of this cuisine. As well as the districts along the shores of Bosphorus, it is possible to reach these savours in the districts which are far from the sea but are the heart of the city.
