We went last night to the fish market for dinner. Receps, as usual. There were 4 kids in our group and one of them chose spaghetti bolognese because he doesn't like fish.
When we had finished, Recep asked him if he liked it. He replied yes, he had enjoyed it.
"Really? Good. Nobody likes our bolognese".
-
OOPs not a good selling tactic:D
-
Its a good enough recommendation for me!! Our kids love spag boll!! Is the restaurant named Receps? Where abouts is it if you are coming in through the main entrance from Paspatur? We have only been to Rukiyes place, but would like to try another this year..

I can't answer that question [:o]
The fish market confuses me, I never know where the places are because I always seem to come in a different way :D
He's near to one of the corners, please someone help me out here :)

Thats just the same as us! totally confused each time, cant tell anyone where anywhere is as it must have 17 different entrances! there used to be a huge great swordfish over the place we liked and we used that as a landmark- then they moved it and we were lost!

HAving recently spent 100 lira on half a kilo of jumbo prawns, 1 sea bass, 1 sea bream, 4 of the most utterly disgusting mezes some rock hard pide a mediocre salad 1 glass of wine and one Efes, all enjoyed whilst being plagued by cats and the over powering stink of fish it will be a long time before we go to the fish market again for a meal.

Would you like to introduce yourself in the member introductions section? It's not just good manners, it would be nice to read a post from you that isn't totally negative.

Over powering stench of fish funny that in the fish market :D
-
Sorry, I missed the 'new members' bit. I'll go look for it now.
-
I can't say I'm over impressed eating there really. The smell doesn't bother me but we found it to be quite expensive in the end. It is worth a try though as it's a different experience. Not one I would repeat in a hurry though.
-
Though I have thought about doing it, I can't stand the smell. SO I doubt I will ever eat there. -Any more than I'd eat in the middle of an area full of meat and the smell of blood. Some people's sense of smell is more acute than others and a place like the fish market isn't for them.
-
eaten within fish market couple of times not great but ok, although price for the fish I thought was expensive. thought there was /is only 4 entrances. every time I go I see KKOB drinking tea resting. ;)
-
We had a meal in the fish market earlier this year. The fish was lovely, but we thought the whole meal was very expensive. :(
The service was excellent, and we had a great time. It was our daughter's 19th birthday, and the boss' son bought her a small cake and put a candle on it, then sang Happy Birthday to her, which was a nice touch. :)
On the negative side though the tablecloths were grubby and needed changing, and we were hassled the whole time by a bloke trying to sell fake perfumes who would not p*** off! :-\
Wouldn't rush back there again, to be honest. 8)

We ate in fish market in October & 1 breakfast,1 beef curry & 1 bottle of water for 2 was £18 which we thought was expensive.
-
i gag from the smell floating outside, nevermind setting foot in there.i love fish but the smell makes me feel so ill,i can't go inside.
-
Try the Oztoklu Restaurant in the fruit and veg market. You can still get the fish, and not have to put up with the smell, and it's cheaper.
-
We eat at Recep's place when we are out and have found the prices reasonable for fresh fish.It's next to a cheese shop,not sure of what entrance you go through,but if you see chairs with stars names on them Robert d'niro,Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino and Scunner,:D you have found Recep's place.We love the hustle and bustle and people watching, as for the smell what else would you expect in a fish market ;)
-
:) Have been there a few times, even though i'm not a fish lover,but always seem to end up takng someone, managed to dodge it this year,but I too found it quite expensive and I never order fish there, I just feel like they see us coming and rub their hands together in anticipation of a big bill,I am only referring to one of the restaurants, and I noticed they would hurry you up if it was busy, I do remember years ago going to , I think it was called Garden House, you had your own waiter all night, the service was the best ever,w the ladies were given a hand made pot pouri on the way out, it was about 15 years ago, and the bill was £90 for 4 of us,that was when a steak in Calis was about £2-3,but worth it.:P
-
:D alan,if that is where you left your business card ,I left a message on it for you!!!!!!!

Is it dearer than the Oben corner? ;)

What do you think:D

If your at the fish market day time make sure u pop and say hello to Ali
It'll cheer him up no end!!
He works selling and cleaning the fish
(hence why saying hello to him will cheer him up!!)

We had a few meals in the fish market during the summer but because of the last experience in the small cafe in the veg market we will be pretty wary visiting again.
On our last night, my husband decided to order Grouper which was pretty expensive to say the least. On tasting it he said it was off and told the owner [nicely]. The owner said it was ok, never offered to replace it and still charged us the full amount. There was no apology. We'd eaten at that place at least four times that summer but will never visit again.
-
:)I think your better off going with someone turkish, because we dont like asking how much it will be at the begining of a meal, and there you just pay for your fish first, and think the price is fair, then you get hammered for the rest of the bill,Nah, I can think of better places to have a nice meal, and how could they not refund for a fish that was'nt fresh, doubt if I will be bamboozled into going there again by any fish lovers,noooo way.:P
-
Oben Corner? Wasn't Andy Fairweather Low their lead singer?
-
I think that is a little unfair generalization. We normally eat at Oztuklu but have used two or three other places and have never been hammered. All these places have a menu and none of them will mind you asking to see them so you can see exactly what you should be paying and you can always refuse the fish if you don't like the price. They will all quote a price for salad and bread and the cooking. Where you may get caught is a starter or dessert that you did not order thinking it to be a freebie.......if something turns up ask is this on the house Yes you don't pay for it No you refuse it. For those who do not like to smell the fish while you are eating there are a few places in the adjacent streets who will cook your fish if you take it to them as well, there are a couple in the street with TEB Bank on the corner :)

Yep, and he ended up Wide Eyed & Legless after messin' with my Red Snapper ! ;)
