According to ministry of agriculture certain establishments including two in Çalış; Serkul 1 & Anatolian restaurants have been named and shamed for using what is believed as wild boar and selling it on their menu as beef. If this is true then it's not good at all.

There were several restaurants, especially around Kaya, Oludeniz and Hisaronu, doing that when we first started living in Turkey 18 years ago. We used to buy boar meat for dog food, so we were able to spot it quite easily when it was served up as beef in restaurants. I'm not at all surprised that it's still going on.

KKOB there was a Chinese buffet restaurant in Hisaronu on the list too.

Probably still being supplied by the same hunters and people in the valley. ;) They come down to the Kaya Valley to hunt the boar. When they've killed one they leave it for others to dispose of as they won't eat the meat. I was called out a few times with a friend to butcher boars that had been shot during a night-hunt and left at the side of the road. One male we butchered we estimated to be at least 18 stone !

When I worked in Tunisia, wild boar was served as a delicacy and not regarded as ‘pork’ per say so even the strict Islamists would sit and eat wild boar.

I’ve had boar whilst in Turkey,from a friend and once served up in place of beef in a restaurant in Kaya.
Don’t mind the meat,don’t like being conned

There's quite a serious health issue these days with boar meat as they're often infected with lung, liver and brain flukes and they're also known to be carriers of hepatitis E. If the meat's well cooked it's pretty safe but undercooking, especially stir-frying, doesn't always kill-off the pathogens.

I take it you had a beef with the restaurant :-[ :-[ :-[

We went to Serkul 1 for prob the first time this summer oops last summer and both said never again.
I had beef dish and I said this beef is strange in the texture and taste so didn’t finish it, I seem to recall reading that someone commented not long after and said they had prob been served boar ( with shotgun pellets still in it) at the same restaurant.
Like the other member has said I don’t like being conned and like to choose what Il eat espec when it concerns meat.
We said at the time another one we won’t be returning to, we have quite a long list now for various (valid) reasons :(
