Where to Eat Fish in Kaş on a Budget

Many visitors to Kaş say the same thing: “Beautiful, but pricey.” With its sea-view terraces and boutique restaurants, Kaş can feel like an expensive destination. But eating fresh fish on a budget is absolutely possible — you just need to know where to look.

Why does Kaş seem expensive?

Most restaurants in Kaş are built around views, location and fine dining. Sitting on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean comes at a price. But the fish itself isn’t expensive — the difference is in presentation, location and drink prices.

Tips for affordable seafood

• Choose a fish sandwich. Instead of a full portion, a fish sandwich is far more economical and filling. At Etna Fish House they start from 590 TL.
• Ask for the catch of the day. In-season, freshly landed fish is both the tastiest and the best value.
• Pick places with a free salad bar. Side dishes inflate the bill; where the salad bar is complimentary, your total stays lower.
• Look at the back streets. Family-run spots away from the seafront terraces are usually more affordable.

Where Etna Fish House fits in

Etna Fish House is a family-run restaurant in Andifli, Kaş, on Öztürk Street (next to Upper House Hotel). It focuses on taste and value rather than views. Grilled sea bass and sea bream portions are 980 TL, fish sandwiches start at 590 TL, and the salad bar is free.

So if you’re looking for affordable, filling, fresh fish in Kaş, the pricey view terraces aren’t your only option. Call +90 531 402 04 04 to ask about today’s catch.
