Fish Market

[sue mac]

I also went to this restaurant. We met Rukiyes brother selling slush drinks down on Olu Deniz beach. He told us all about his families restaurant and we went the following night. We paid 5 lira for soup salad and bread, and she took us to choose our fish. We chose a huge piece of tuna, which was then cut into four large steaks, at a cost of 30 lira.  We loved it there. It was so "turkish" and I assume its the same restaurant that was spoken about earlier, as I was crying with laughter at our trip to the toilet.  You have to climb up a set of steep metal steps (almost like a ladder) at the back of the kitchen, only to then have to crawl into a space where the toilet is. I can imagine that some would find this quite alarming, however I found it all part of the fun. The food was good - the service was great and at the end of the night, "Dad" took us all home in his minibus.  We will certainly go there again.

the first time we visited the fish market.  I bought some steak from the butchers.  It was very tasty and he was very friendly.  When we went a few months later.  The butcher told us we could only sell the steak in bulk.  I said you sold us four steaks last time and was told it was not up to him it was his boss's rule.

We visited the fish market for the first time last August and never tried anything there, you know what it,s like first time to turkey and all that, you never know what to do at those places, but we will certainly be trying Oztoklu after reading about it here when we go back to Calis in september.  My mouth is watering already!!!

Just a quick thank you to KKOB for telling me about the Oztoklu restaurant which is just inside the fruit & vegetable market next to the fish market. Rukiye ( pronounced Roo-Kee-ya )is fantastic, her Dad Rahim is a great cook and makes the most wonderful sauces I have ever tasted. It is really, really, good value for money here, the food is wonderful. Go There !

 :)Will have to remember that name next time, I think we were well over charged last time we went, as were others who went to the same one, but I would like to go again, so that suggestion has helped,

We have been twice for lunch buying at the fish market and eating in one of the surrounding restaurants.  Went for the third time in July this year but decided to try the evening atmosphere as I had seen lights in the trees and thought how pretty it would look.  However, in July/August of course, as I am sure everyone realises, except me... the heat builds up and it was probably cooler to eat at lunchtime before the heat of the day built to 'unbearable' in the evening. As a result my daughter passed out.  As she lay on the floor, I realised I too was about to pass out so made for an exit -   where I passed out.  The local people were just fantastic helping my husband to rush from one fainter to the next.  You could see how sympathetic they all were  - with my husband -  poor man, fancy having two females in his family passing out and in different place, at the same time.  Anyway they kept the meal warm for us and the drinks cool.  Plenty of the lemon water and drinking water and sound advice (didn't realise how many turkish people were medically qualified!!)  Can't praise the fish market highly enough.  Super food, and lovely people.  They really did look after us.  I think we'll go at lunchtime in future though..
