Bebek Balıkçısı has held the waterside corner on Cevdet Paşa for more than seventy years — the Bosphorus seafood institution Istanbul's older families still send their out-of-town guests to first. The kitchen runs on the day's catch, the display at the entrance shows the morning's fish, and the staff debone at the table on request.
Reserve the terrace at sunset, choose the grilled tiger prawns and the sea bass from the display, and pace the meal across an evening. The bill arrives high; the room is part of the city's culinary record, and the regulars accept the trade.
The Bosphorus seafood dinner the city was built on.
