DECADENT TURKISH STREET FOOD TOUR IN ISTANBUL! BEST Seafood & Super Loaded Baked Potato

Join us for a tour of traditional Turkish street food in Istanbul!
Karaköy is a harborside neighborhood on the European side of Istanbul with some of the yummiest Turkish cuisine and fresh seafood in the city.
Here is a list of what we ate and where:
1. Gozleme (Turkish flatbread) and kumpir (super-loaded baked potato) at a stall across the Karaköy ferry terminal
2. Balit Durum (fish wrap) at a street stall (also across the Karaköy ferry terminal)
3. Akın Balık Karaköy - a laidback waterfront restaurant serving fresh seafood and meze
4. Karaköy Güllüoğlu - a historic dessert shop specializing in baklava and more

[@SoSo-35]

hoş geldin memleketimize

[@GringoNation]

Great vlog! Made me reminisce about Turkey. Cool that the guy let you make your own Kumpir! Also miss the Turkish Tea and Baklava... Hope you don't skip Cappadocia. Truly singular spot! Thanks, Dottie. 🙂

[@DotsonaMap]

Turkish people were so friendly about us filming everything and very welcoming! We were lucky. And no, we did not skip Cappadocia :) Thanks for watching!

[@anna911]

Wow, I want to go to Istanbul so bad! This food looks AMAZINGGG

[@besliksimit3171]

That yellow fruit you got is ayva (quince in English). You can eat it like an apple. Some might be a bit dry though (not preferable). They use them to make desserts or jam.

[@DotsonaMap]

Awesome! Thanks so much. We had never seen it before and were curious. And it was a bit dry when we tried it 😂

[@besliksimit3171]

@@DotsonaMap The deserts and jams made from it are much tastier. And it softens quite a bit when cooked. :) The seeds of the fruit are used to make colorless jelly. They use those for things like thickening the quince jam or covering the fruits on cakes so they look more vibrant and shiny. And that is probabaly way more that you wanted to know about a dry strange fruit :D

[@precursors]

@@DotsonaMap We don’t eat the fruit directly, we make jams and desserts. There’s even an idiom in Turkish “Ayvayı yemek” which means “to be in deep sh*t” 😂

The best way to eat a quince is to slice it in halves and bake it like an apple with a couple clovers in each half.

[@user-x2mb3hmxjxd0u]

Wow , I thought it’s guava. Thanks for telling 😊

[@pealucky1]

Rakı can kick like a mule , i hope that huge shot didnt make you regret end of the day. We like to drink rakı solwly with lots of food and a lot more chatting. It is a socialising drink with lots of rules and traditions around it just to be sure you are taking slow and consistent amount alcohol so you can keep drinking and not getting too drunk.

[@lillyess385]

Thank you for trying the fish wrap. It's one of my favourites

[@mohamedrashidibraimo6954]

So nice Thank you

[@iararodrigues9750]

É só assistir esses vídeos que a fome bate😋😋😋

[@wendysimon-pearson2050]

[@stdforbesgrana338]

[@dianademonte5672]

Ayva..on turkish. QUINCE on English..❤ You are really awesome & great tourist guide..❤

[@azhajouj]

Karakoy Gulloglu Baklava is the best in Turkey and the most delicious in the world made from Goat better if you didn't guess why its so Unique !! :)

[@DotsonaMap]

It was SOOOOO good. Loved it. Best baklava I've had by a long shot!

[@azhajouj]

@@DotsonaMap I am so excited to visit Istanbul next spring for that delicious baklava 😛😛!!

[@semihkorayozkan]

6:50 Quince , Ayva. One of my favorite. I have my own Tree back home village but it's too expensive in US. 2$ each for HALF size of what you have in your hand. By the way, it is Turkey that is the world's largest exporter of quince, exporting about 20 000 tonnes per year. How much you paid so far you remember that days in US $ ?

[@pcprincipal345]

Why do I hear this same music on these videos but I never heard it before even though I am living in Turkey?

[@boycotisrailll]

Rakı bütün alkollerin kralidir yavas icilir meze ister zahmet ister ve en olmazsa olmazi muhabettir

[@MertErcannn]

KING one SHOT ! :D

[@marianamilk3759]

grilled fishhhhhh

[@DotsonaMap]

🐟

[@ahmethakantozlu1389]

Italians give 100s names to their pasta's and we Turks give many diffirent names to our sweets. Names differ mostly because of the shape btw.

[@DotsonaMap]

Love that! Makes sense, and thanks for watching and sharing :) It's great to learn more about Turkish food and culture.

[@infostar-wx6fp]

☺👍🌹

[@alialtun9505]

Baklava

[@tcspirit]

Siz o rakıyı bitirdiniz mi?

[@ike7539]

8:10 that's a lot of Rakı for you two even though its a small bottle. Did you finish it? Sometimes they do that to sell, I dont like those greedy people but what are you going to do? Looks like you didnt finish it by looking at how you look normal and not buzzed at Gulluoglu 😂

[@abumuhammadalhindi6895]

Fruit looked like a big guava, but i guess it is not.

[@mineeker6086]

hi, dont drink raki without ice , water also should be cold. otherwise raki is sucks.

[@A.L.P.D.]

u r absolutely beautiful honey
