DOs and DO NOTs
DO
Expect a lot
more from Turkish cuisine that pita, doner kebap, hummus and similar Mediterranean/Middle
East fare.
Fish, caught
in the nearby Black Sea and Sea of Marmara, is divine.
Go for Turbot.
It’s not
like Mediterranean Turbot.
It has sharp
disks on its outer skin -- and is served whole.
But it is
superior because the black sea is less salty, so the meat is more succulent.
DO NOT
Go home
without going up to a (city licensed) street vendor selling street food.
Best bets:
Simits -- wider,
flatter sesame seed bagels without cream cheese.
Misir -- corn
on the cob, roasted or boiled.
Kestane -- chestnuts, roasted, best at night when
the cool breezes drift in off the Bosphorus.
