Hellloo again...

My daughter asked me if we could get her favourite Balik Ekmek in kalkan - I said I would find out? Are there any boats that sell them - or cafes?

Cheers

Nooooo - Not fish fingers! Yuk

Its Fish Bread - usually cooked and served from the boats on turkish harbours..

Look...

Yes - its fresh fish - in bread - usually served with salad, onions and chillis - but as far away from a "fishfinger sandwich" as can be.... Please!

as I said, there are several in Fethiye harbour, selling fish sandwiches, Fethiye is worth a visit for a day out, slightly manic on driving tho'.

They are brilliant, just fish fillets straight off a chargrill barbecue inside a fresh bread roll. Sold for a couple of Lira at the ferry quaysides in Istanbul.

Sadly, I have never seen them in or around Kalkan.
