The 38 Best Istanbul Restaurants | Eater
"Opened in 1966, Kıyı (“coast” in Turkish) is an iconic fish and seafood restaurant located right on the water. It’s the place to try classic seafood dishes like tarama (a spread made with fish roe, olive oil, and lemon), lakerda (salt-preserved bonito), midye dolma (spicy rice-stuffed mussels), fried calamari, and octopus salad. With immaculate service and seasonal fish cooked delicately, Kıyı is still the best fish restaurant in Istanbul." - Tuba Şatana
