Yakamoz Restaurant Gümüşlük

Yakamoz sits on the Gümüşlük seafront with tables a metre from the water and the silhouette of Tavşan Adası closing the bay. The room is the working version of a Gümüşlük balık evi: a fish-and-meze card built on what the morning boats land, the standard Aegean register of sea bass, sea bream, bluefish, shrimp, squid and octopus, and the kind of seasonally rotating cold mezes the village considers obligatory. The crowd skews local and Istanbul summer-house, less yacht-traffic than the rooms further down the iskele, and the value of the booking is the direct waterfront seat with the bay's working harbour as the backdrop.
