In Sinop, the price of turbot fish has significantly dropped to 800 lira per kilo at local fishmonger stalls, following a surge in supply just before the annual hunting ban commences on April 15. This price decrease from the season's peak of 1,200 lira is attributed to Black Sea fishermen intensively casting their nets to catch turbot in the days leading up to the ban, resulting in an abundance of the species in the market. Fisherman İbrahim Gündoğdu highlighted this seasonal trend, which temporarily boosts supply and lowers prices for consumers.
