In Istanbul’s historic neighbourhood of Eminonu, the last day of October is slightly more crowded than usual, for good reason.
But this tradition might die soon. The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality notified the owners of the boats harboured at the Eminonu, feet of the Galata bridge, that their annual contract won’t be renewed and they must leave by November 1. A court granted a motion for a stay of execution of the municipality’s decision on Friday, as owners acted quickly to take the issue to the court. Until the final court decision, the boats will keep working.
A man selling pickle juice, a mix of sour and salty drink that goes well with fish sandwiches, at Eminonu, Istanbul, on October 31, 2019. The manager of one of the three fish sandwich boats in Eminonu, Bayram Ceylan , says his family has been into fish business for generations. s enquiry about its plans for the fish sandwich boats with Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu’s earlier statement.
The municipality’s e-mail didn’t mention what would happen to around 200 workers or if there would be new fish boats. But the mayor’s statement said the municipality is trying to come up with a solution for a “better service”, and the process would be transparent if the municipality would have an auction for a new contract.
Everyone realizes BalikEkmek when they hear about Eminonu, include tourists. Court shouldn’t let them to close those businesses; they can change the business owners instead of closing them all. Instead of being productive, they’re closing old good things 🤦♂️

For those tourist who follow this account (if there is any), do not buy any fish sandwich from these boats, you can find it with a better taste and price at any restaraunt in that neighbourhood plus the owners of the boats are mafias who beated the customers several times
