It snowed in the plateaus, a storm broke out at sea, and the price of mackerel increased.

After the fishing ban in the seas ended on September 1, boats that set sail have been catching a large amount of bonito since the first days of the season. However, due to adverse weather conditions these days, some boats could not go out to sea, which negatively affected fish stalls.
Fish merchant Mehmet Örseloğlu stated that the bonito has come in less due to the adverse weather conditions, and therefore its price has increased. He said, “Due to the harsh weather since yesterday, the price of bonito has gone up. Right now, there is bonito, but it has come in less, and when it comes in less, the price goes up. We are selling bonito, which was 100 TL yesterday, for 120 TL today. From now on, the price of bonito will be determined according to the weather and the catch. A week ago, it was sold for 70-80 TL, but from today onwards, it is being sold for 120 TL. The prices of our other fish varieties are hamsi for 200 TL, istavrit for 125 TL, and mezgit for 125 TL,” he said.
Fish merchant Emin Avcı also mentioned that they sold bonito for 100 TL yesterday and for 120 TL today, stating, “Due to the adverse weather, the prices of fish have risen. Currently, a piece of bonito is 120 TL. Since the fish has come in less, the price has also increased. It was around 100 TL yesterday, and today it is 120 TL. A week ago, it was 80-90 TL, so there has been a little increase today. The bonitos weigh around 1 kilo 200 grams. The prices of other fish varieties are istavrit for 125 TL, large ones for around 250-300 TL, mezgit varies from 100 TL to 400 TL depending on size, çinakop for 300 TL, and sarıkanat for 400-450 TL. It rained, and bonito has started to grow; now is the perfect time to eat it as it has become oily. Bonito can be sold at any moment; they can start salting it now. I have been in this sector for a long time, and I have never seen such a bountiful season.”
