Trabzon residents are fed up with the herring.

Fishermen stated that for the last 5 days, the price of a kilo of anchovies has been around 50 TL, while a week ago, 3 kilos were sold for approximately 200 TL.

If this abundance continues, I predict the price will drop even more in the coming days. ...
