Our Local Experts say:
Istanbul is surrounded by water, and it's of little surprise that the city offers up some of the best fresh fish and other seafood in the region.
Seafood lovers congregate along the Bosphorus and Marmara Sea shores to enjoy the famous Istanbul fish restaurants, which often serve the freshest catches by the kilogram served with a glass of chilled raki. The city's fish markets, such as Balik Pazari in Taksim and Kumkapi near Eminonu are also good places to enjoy seafood in Istanbul.
