In Zonguldak, as the fish hunting ban from April 15 to September 1, 2024, approaches, local citizens are rushing to buy fish, with horse mackerel and haddock being particularly popular despite the hot weather impacting fish stocks. Fishermen have noted a scarcity of bonito and anchovies, causing price fluctuations, but the interest in fish remains high. Ercan Düzer, a fisherman tradesman, observes that fish prices are still relatively affordable for most types, reflecting the market's adaptation to the supply and demand dynamics ahead of the ban.
