Top ways to experience Karakoy Balik Pazari and nearby attractions

The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Karakoy
Sitting pretty with an age-old air about it, Karakoy is situated on the European side of the Bosphorus at the mouth of the Golden Horn. Perhaps the city’s most historically significant area, it’s currently one of the most happening parts of town as well. Here street vendors and alfresco fish restaurants line the banks of the Horn where the views of major attractions across the water rival Karakoy’s own key attractions, such as the iconic 14th century Galata Tower and the Museum of Modern Art. A major hub for local and international waterborne traffic, Istanbul’s commercial and maritime heritage remains as relevant and evident as ever in Karakoy. Commuter ferries mingle with luxury cruise liners at its busy port, ensuring a continuously cosmopolitan flow of people..

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Karaköy'de iskelenin hemen yanında balıkların taze olarak satıldığı pazardir. Fiyatlarda baligin cinsine göre değişir.

It's a place with no historical appearance. If you want, you can have it cooked and eat at the restaurant next door. A place that gets smaller day by day.

イスタンブールの魚市場といえばチチェキ・パサジュのが有名です。ここはそこからそれほど離れていないカラキョイにあります。でも、ずっと庶民的。隣接するレストランで新鮮な海の幸も楽しめます。

Since we have been out of Istanbul for a long time, we stopped by while visiting Karaköy for sightseeing and nostalgia. When we chose fish from a salesperson in the historical Karaköt fish market, we wanted wedge cut. He recommended that it be grilled with meat and gave us the grilled fish in the package that was prepared beforehand behind the counter. Without saying it, it would be cut and packaged behind the counter in a sullen tone. The fish had been kept in the ice for a long time and its flesh had become stringy. The other fish we bought was just as dull and stale. I would like to thank the fishing tradesmen for their trust in the old nostalgic fish shopping. If you want to see badly treated food that is not fresh and has been kept in the freezer for a long time, go.

I'm sure the one who buys fish here will not buy it a second time. Because it doesn't sell fresh fish anymore. Soon they will all be fish restaurants, but ..one-year-old bonito...even though it is in full season, the icehouse anchovies, horse mackerel and other fish. Moreover, it has surpassed Istanbul's most expensive Fishermen's Bazaar, Beyoğlu NY. .. There is only one Fisherman from Çanakkale left (deceased) in the corner. Apart from him, there is not a single place that sells decent fish. And they act like they're making fun of him, he's not qualified to be a tradesman... Grandpa, here he is, he's my age.

Akadaş, they have found the solution to everything, you buy fish in the front, they clean it in the back, they do not clean the fish given by the leader, they give different fish, the fish they buy should be haram.
