After the fishing ban was lifted in Çanakkale, sardine prices in the Gallipoli Fish Market were halved from 200 lira to 100 lira per kilogram. Shopkeeper Erol Gul noted that not only sardines, but other fish varieties have also become cheaper, and he expects the prices to decrease further in the future. Gul particularly emphasized that now is the ideal time for grilling sardines due to their affordability.
