Galata Bridge Balık Ekmek
This is the first thing I feed anyone who lands in Istanbul. A grilled fish in bread, eaten standing by the water, for the price of a coffee. Nothing beats it as a welcome.
The bobbing boats grilling mackerel into bread at the Eminönü end of the bridge, and the fishermen lining the rail above. The city's cheapest great lunch.
