About us
A fish counter and a family table
Okyanus Balık opened in Dalaman town centre in 2023 with a simple idea: serve fresh fish from a clean kitchen, cooked properly, at a table where everyone feels at ease.
Our fish counter and kitchen share the same roof. Fish that arrives at the counter in the morning goes either to a guest’s home or from the charcoal grill to the table the same day. That is why freshness is not a slogan for us — it is the job itself.
We chose to be an alcohol-free family restaurant. We wanted a calm, friendly place where families with children, older guests and people on a lunch break all feel comfortable.
With our blue walls, fishing nets and checked tablecloths, we are not fancy — we are a warm fishermen’s restaurant. And our guests keep saying the same thing: clean, tasty, super fresh.
Since 2023 · Alcohol-free family restaurant

In the kitchen, at the counter, at the table. Hygiene is not negotiable.
Tasty
Simple, correct cooking so the fish’s own flavour comes first.
