Fishermen's Market — Local services in Beşiktaş

To be honest it's quite underwhelming, I was expecting something more on the line of the Pier Seattle, Washington.

It really has a lot of potential if they had it on ice the fish made it look more presentable had some vendors inside that sold pre-made sandwiches or fish sandwiches it could be really nice but when I saw it today I was beyond underwhelmed. It's not really worth going to however the neighborhood around it is awesome. I would highly recommend going and hanging out at the neighborhood bars restaurants it's a young cool hip crowd. Just look at the two or three vendors that are open at the fish market and then keep walking.

It was so disappointing I didn't even bother taking...

This market is actually a small one with about 5 or 6 stalls sellin fish and 1 selling vegetables. to be honest most of the stuff there were very fresh but I wasn't sure about the price and probably I got ripped off. Bought 2 fish (sea bass & a snapper), labels in TRY and I thought those meant by the kiilo but they charged me by piece and that was about USD8 per piece (about a pound each). It did not seem a good price though. There is also an adjacent restaurant right by the entrance of the market but I did not even think of eating there because of the fishy smell the the surrounding. This place...

They sold me SPOILED SHRIMP! I know nothing about sea food and the man swore they were fresh. Their smell was so bad after I opened the wrapped dish and it burned my eyes.

I threw them out and went to another store to ask for fresh jumbo shrimp and the ones I got there smelt like nothing. He said the man at the market scammed me most probably.

They will scam you if they know you’re...
