| When the winter comes! We all say: "Winter started! Winter without fish never" |
Actually, we, Turkish people, only love to consume fish in cold times or in winter times. We dont know! Why? But, we love fish in snowy times very much. Generally, fish sales decrease in the spring and summer times, in Turkey. Plus, when the winter season comes, many Greengrocers turn to fish Mongers. Also, when you come to our country and you find Turkish people very interesting because of they only eat fish floured and deep fried or grilled or roasted. Generally, Tourists or visitors come from the abroad to Turkey have the impression that Turkish people only eat fish floured and deep fried or grilled or sometimes floured and oven baked, and sonetimes it does seem that way because those cooking methods are so appealing. This especially true in coastal cities on the Aegean Region and central Anatolia. Mackerel is most popular when the fish are rich and fatty in December and January (especially; roasted mackerel with garlic and Paprika or roasted mackerel with Bay leaves and lemon slices are very famous and very yummy). Plus, some mackerel fans eat it at March and April, even winter season finished. You may like our Oven-baked-horse-mackerel-recipe .
