The ban on fishing was lifted in Turkey on September 15, leading to an abundance of fish in the Mediterranean, particularly sardines and anchovies. The president of the Mersin Fishermen's Association emphasized the affordability and nutritional value of sardines and anchovies, and encouraged people of all ages to eat fish. Other types of fish, such as red mullet, silverfish, and shrimp, are also available at affordable prices due to the good weather.
