Kumkapi

Kumkapi is a quarter full of fish restaurants on the backside of the Sultan Ahmet hill. Every taxi driver will know it; by car it's 5 min. from Sultan Ahmet. Remark: You should only go there if you really want to eat fish. There are about 30-40 restaurants and they all offer - more or less only - fish! In summertime it's a very nice atmosphere with all the tables on the street. The second place is Tarabya which is a bit outside the city. It is a small bay on the European side up the Bosphorus for about 30-40 min. by car. I would recommend to go there by ferryboat and come back with a bus or taxi. In Tarabya I would take a meze-plate of mixed seafood. For both places a warning: Seafood is supposed to be something special and so are the prices!
