Balik Ekmek Fish Sandwich at Golden Horn Harbourside Eminou Istanbul Turkey
For perhaps a century, fishermen have brought their catch from the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara to Istanbul's Galata Bridge for sale. A few enterprising boatmen had an idea: why not cook the fish right on the boat and offer it for sale ready-to-eat? They built grills and fryers right in their boats, built fires in them, grilled fish fillets, stuffed them in half a loaf of bread, and handed from the boat to thousands of hungry, thrifty Istanbullus every day. Balik ekmek! Balik ekmek! They shouted. (Fish in bread! Fish in bread!)
