Along the water front of the Golden Horn, there are brightly colored and elaborately decorated floating boats that can be seen easily from the bridge. We had not seen them up close before and I assumed they were tour boats of some kind where the rates were probably inflated and the tour guides wore Ottoman themed outfits and tried to tell tourists that their boats were thousands of years old. I couldn't have been more wrong...they are not tour boats, they are floating kitchens that only serve grilled fish sandwiches!
Here are the "cooks" sanding around the huge grill in the center of their boat. What you can't tell by looking at this picture is how badly this boat is rocking back and forth because ferries are constantly coming in to the port behind them.

Once they have a sandwich made, they wait until the boat is rocking towards land and they hand the sandwich over to be sold.
Most popular lunch spot we've seen!
