Fishermen in Kocaali district of Sakarya are returning to shore with crates full of bonito after venturing into the Black Sea. The arduous fishing work, which continues day and night at the mouth of the Melen River, is reflected in an abundance of fish at the markets, with bonito selling for 100-120 Turkish Lira per pair, bringing smiles to the faces of residents in surrounding provinces.
The abundance of bonito continues to be reflected in prices. While 300-gram bonitos were sold for 150 lira at the beginning of the season, now they are sold for 90 lira per kilogram. Fishermen, who said, "There are even people who buy 50 bonitos," commented, "Right now, a kilogram of fish is cheaper than a liter of diesel fuel."
With the abundance of bonito in the Black Sea, prices in Samsun have dropped sharply. As one-kilogram bonito fell to 90 TL, citizens flocked to fish stalls, eager to both enjoy fresh fish and stock up for the winter.
The abundance of bonito in the Black Sea filled the nets of boats anchored off the coast of Sakarya. Shipments from Kocaali to market stalls provided a much-needed boost to low-income families' budgets, while the price of 100 lira per pair brought smiles to the faces of those who worked the catch.
