Mersin fishermen are happy with the season and good catches

October 21, 2023

In Turkey, September, October and November are known as the months with the most fish. The stalls are overflowing with fish, and the prices are happy. Adnan Polat, president of the Mersin Fishermen's Association, said of the current fishing season. "We are satisfied with this season and the good catch. It is really a difficult job to catch and deliver fresh fish to the consumer. Despite this, we are selling it at affordable prices. Because of the affordable prices, sales are doing very well. We sell sardines and anchovies for 50-60-70 lira, mullet for 80-90 lira, and mullet for 80-150 lira depending on its length and size. If we compare it with other food products, the prices are quite reasonable. There are many varieties of fish in the Mediterranean Sea: mullet, mackerel, mackerel, sardine, sea bream, sea bass and others. By the way, sardines are the richest in omega-3 content".
