This is not just a book about fish, nor is it just a book about raki; it's a book that "reads" fish and seafood culture through rah. It's a book that chases after the scent of seafood in Mediterranean cities, and never without raki: It takes the magic of fish and raki to the ports that keep watch over Mediterranean history and shares it with the local people. It's a book that savors the aroma of fish at the raki table, about a kind of pleasure that demands time, taken for oneself and friends, to experience that joy together, In the words of the famous traveler Evliya £elebi, ".. .because fish is a food for happiness and celebration!'
To sum it up: If fish is happiness, then raki is the celebration.
