Transportation difficulties have caused a shortage of anchovy at the Wholesale Fish Market in Trabzon, Turkey, due to snowfall blocking roads to Istanbul. The situation is impacting both consumers and fishermen, with no anchovies available at the market. Currently, horse mackerel is being sold instead. The anchovy has migrated to colder waters, making it unavailable from Georgia and Bulgaria, where high prices and restrictions are also preventing its purchase. The season has not been profitable for boat owners, marking it as unsuccessful compared to previous years.
