The 1975 Dalyan harbour fish house that defines what a Çeşme balık restoranı should taste like
Cevat Yıldırım has been running this terrace on the Dalyan harbour since 1975 — half a century of day-boat fish, salt-baked çipura and stuffed kalamar served without theatre. Two generations of Çeşme summer-house Istanbul learned what an Aegean fish meze list could be at these tables. The room is unfussy and the bill, by peninsula standards, surprisingly fair. It is the reference point: every other Çeşme balıkçı asks to be measured against it.
Order the salt-baked fish for two and the steamed octopus; do not skip the sea urchin if the season is right. Sit on the harbour side, not the indoor room. They have seen everyone — the service does not perform.
