Turkish: '''Balık ekmek''' (pronounced as /tr/) is a common street food item in Turkish cuisine. It is a sandwich of a filet of fried or grilled fish (typically mackerel, or other similar oily fish), served along with various vegetables, inside a bun of Turkish bread. It is typically served on the Eminönü square straight from the boat on which it is prepared.
The name is a combination of the Turkish words Turkish: balık and Turkish: ekmek .
