In the enchanting atmosphere of a rakı table, choosing the right hot appetizers to delight the palate is truly an art. At Kepos Fish House, we carefully prepare appetizers that perfectly complement the harmony between our seafood and rakı. So, which hot appetizers pair best with rakı and why? Here are the flavors you should try with a gourmet touch:

 

                 1. Fried Shrimp: Elegant and Intense Flavor

Fried shrimp offers an ideal balance with the aromatic profile of rakı. With its tender texture and lightly salty taste, it creates a seafood feast that complements the anise notes of rakı beautifully.

                  2. Grilled Octopus: A Flavor that Dances with Rakı’s Boldness

Carefully grilled octopus is a perfect appetizer that balances the intensity of rakı. The light smoky flavor of the octopus harmonizes with the anise notes rakı leaves on the palate, offering a unique taste experience with every bite.

                  3. Calamari Köfte: Creamy and Light

The unique flavor of calamari, in the form of köfte (meatballs), brings a fresh touch to the rakı table. The soft texture of the calamari köfte, enriched with mild spices, enhances the refreshing effect of rakı.

                  4. Fish Kokoreç: Bold and Spicy

With its spicy and intense taste, fish kokoreç is an appetizer that stands up to the strong character of rakı. Especially prepared with Aegean culinary influences, this dish dances with the anise scent of rakı and quickly becomes a favorite for rakı lovers.

                  5. Liver Slices: Classic and Unmissable

For those who want to discover the unique harmony between liver and rakı, sliced liver is an ideal choice. Thinly sliced and masterfully cooked, this dish softens the bold taste of rakı, becoming one of the classic delights of the table.

                  6. Seabass with Eggplant: Light and Aromatic

This appetizer brings a refreshing breeze to the rakı table, blending the flavors of land and sea. The light smoky taste of eggplant and the delicate texture of seabass create a perfect harmony with the refreshing and rich taste of rakı.
