Are they served breaded? Are they tasty? Lutfen, like to know.

it tastes good when grilled and served with lemon. I don`t like fried hamsi.

They are anchioves, aren't they Ros....yummy on Pizza!!

I love hamsi! There is a great fish cafe in Besiktaş fish market. The owner is a former Besiktaş footballer. Close to home and absolutely one of my favorite places to eat!

Hamsi is delicious - çok lezzetli!

I like many Turkish dishes but - sorry to say - hamsi? Yikes!

I hate all kinds of hamsi--it makes me sick but i dont like fish in general...

hamsi is a wonderful fish I ate hamsi 2 hours ago

life is a big ZERO without hamsi,coz hamsi is the name of life

I like fried hamsi

hamsi is sultan of fishes

I agree about the fish with kılçık and the rakı with ice!! Count me in if tehres still place at the table

Hamsis kılçık is so little, you even don't want to separate it from hamsi

I ate the hamsi without the kılçik and always drink raki without ice (it reminds me of sambuca that way, my favorite).

I am sorry

Köyde Hamsi Izgara Keyfi - too bad that I cannot understand what they are saying
