How Do Turks Eat Fish? 2 Authentic Turkish FISH MENU

Have you ever wondered how Turks enjoy fresh sardines? In this video, I’ll show you two delicious and authentic Turkish sardine menus. First, we’ll bake sardines with vegetables in a clay pot ('güveç') and pan-fry them coated in corn flour, served with a refreshing shepherd’s salad and traditional tarhana soup. In the second menu, we’ll prepare sardine skewers in two styles—wrapped in grape leaves and classic shish with peppers and tomatoes—paired with a tangy arugula onion salad and homemade corn bread loaves. These easy-to-follow recipes bring out the best of Turkish flavors, perfect for seafood lovers!

Olá querida amiga da Turquia 🌻🇧🇷. Tenho aprendido tanto com você. As batatas com cebolas e tomates devem ser deliciosos. As panelas típicas, o copo de chá tradicional e o prato de berro para fazer as sardinhas... deixam a mesa muito especial. Fico feliz de aprender essas riquezas com você!😊

Wow! This is amazing! Just love the presentation. It gives such a welcoming feeling and wanting to grab a bite of the sardines, kebab, and everything else. We don't get fresh sardines in Chicago but it would be worth the try at another fishery.😊
