Ali Baba’s Place
One of the modest restaurants serving in Karaburun is “Ali Baba”.
The restaurant makes stone fish in their own way, the local rock fish they call stone fish. Ali Baba cleans the fish and keeps them in salt water for an hour. The reason is the low salt content of the Black Sea. If the meat of the fish waiting in the fortified salty water absorbs the salt, it gains more flavor. During the cooking process, one side of the fish is fried in a pan with olive oil and the other side of the fish is turned over, and after the frying process is finished, the fish are served with the same tomatoes and peppers in the pan. (Laf is not bad between us). In the same way, he also makes chinchilla, horse mackerel, bluefish, gray mullet and turbot.
Pita varieties are enough to please the whips with dried bean rice. Two portions of stone fish in satisfying amounts, a mixed salad, water, bread are all for 15 million TL! Ali Baba’s Place
