Fishermen off the Sinop coast of the Black Sea have caught large turbot fish, with one weighing in at 8.8 kilograms and sold for 5,000 TL. Expecting lower prices during Ramadan due to reduced demand, Mert Kanal, a fisherman, commented, "Prices will drop a little during Ramadan. Restaurants are closed during Ramadan, fish is not preferred at the iftar tables, so prices will decrease.” Zeki Kanal is optimistic about the upcoming coastal fishing season, anticipating it to be plentiful after a few scarce years.
