The original Şifne address of the Kabak fish dynasty, the quiet one, where the locals still go
Restaurant
Beyaz Balık
A small Şifne fish house on the village side, for when even Ferdi Baba feels too crowded
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Tucked into the Şifne village a few hundred metres from the Ferdi Baba terrace, Beyaz Balık is the working-fishermen address, a single room, a short board of whatever came in that morning, and a generous meze fridge. The crowd is local, the bill is honest, and on a Tuesday night in June it is the closest thing to a private fish dinner you can find within an hour of Alaçatı. Not for a celebration, for a quiet rakı-balık evening.
Editor's Tip
No reservations, no website, call the village or just turn up at 19:30. Order whatever the proprietor recommends; the lakerda and the fava are the meze cornerstones. A second-string pick after Ferdi Baba; only worth it on a quiet night.
