Lakerda – A Traditional Delight Bringing the Sea to Your Table

Lakerda is one of the most iconic dishes of Turkish cuisine, cherished by seafood lovers for its distinctive taste and heritage. This classic meze is made by salting and curing bonito fish, a process that enhances its unique texture and flavor through time-honored techniques.


The preparation of Lakerda starts with selecting the freshest bonito fish. The fish is cleaned, sliced into portions, and carefully salted before being left to cure. This curing process intensifies the fish’s natural flavors. Traditionally served with olive oil, thinly sliced red onions, and a splash of lemon juice, these accompaniments perfectly complement Lakerda’s mild saltiness.

With each bite, Lakerda offers a light yet rich flavor. The distinct aroma of the fish, combined with the subtle notes of salt and curing, creates a truly delightful taste that captures the essence of the sea. It can be enjoyed as it is or enriched with olive oil for an added layer of depth.


The pairing of Lakerda with Rakı is nothing short of magical. The refreshing texture of Lakerda harmonizes beautifully with the bold, aniseed flavor of Rakı, making it a perfect choice for a light yet flavorful start to any gathering.
