Obviously Womble you had a lobster while you were away, was it expensive? we were going to have a big fish supper in Marmaris last year with lobster and a selection of fish. The trouble was the guy on the front door would not commit to a price and just kept saying ' i do good price' but would not say how much.

i dont mind doing a ton if its going to be the muts nuts but im not going to be shafted for a meal!

Anyone else had experience of lobster in Icmeler or Marmaris?

Well I can say that it weighed 1.5 kilo
more than enough for two
with drinks £60
to me thats good in summer would say if you buy cook yourself
£40 should cover it
Its a guideline Turan showed me his invoice he mad a tenner and reckons about £80 in summer
Suprisingly they are in short supply and they are large Cray not Lobster but hey who cares Fantastic meal

Surprisingly sea food is expensive in Turkey unlike Spain.

I have been to the fish market quite afew times so know the prices and you should never order sea food in Turkey without getting the price first

Exactamundo, thats why i kept asking the price, and come in 'make you good price' is not what i want to hear. a hundred is good for me

Hiya
It was FLORIDA BAR
ICMELER
I asked the price prior to ordering two days before#
given £80
Turan aka Jack contacted his supplier gave me firm price for 1.25-1.50 kilo Cray thats what they are not Lobster as we know it
Hence £60 showed me invoice he made a tenner plus our drinks
Grab the chance because we love it

I have never tasted Lobster, but I would love to. Quite a lot of money to pay just incase I dont like it. So if any of you are there in June and eating Lobster, let me know and I will come and have a wee taste of yours :lol:

Nah Reesy & Lynn
If you like crab you will def like Lobster :lol:
we had a Mediterranean salad Diced fried potatoes with sliced onion in it
2 dips they do that for you 8)
We were pigs cos we love Lobster Or shold say Cray cos thats what they are in this part of the world :P
The meal would have fed 4 people but you would have to have starters
Our afters were Pancakes and cream yum yum :wink:
