Beşiktaş Balık Pazarı

Beşiktaş · Fish market & meze stalls · $$

This is the cheap, honest fish-and-rakı night the Bosphorus restaurants charge triple for. I come with friends, we drink, the bill barely stings.

A working fish market ringed by tiny grill-and-meze joints. Buy fish or just sit at a plastic table and let them cook the day's catch for you.
