Midye Tava means fried mussel in English and is a typical Turkish street food. In fact, midye tava consists in deep fried mussels that are covered with flour, eggs and beer. Usually, it is served on wood skewers or bread, besides a sauce made with yogurt and garlic. By the way, add some chilli flakes. It will surely give you a better taste.
Further, it is easy to find in Istanbul, the most in food trucks outside of restaurants.
In addition, I found it on a street in a seafood market in Beyoğlu, Istanbul. A Turkish friend from this city recommended me the midye tava, which was so delicious.

Midye tava was one of the most tasty Turkish street food that I’ve tried in Istanbul. Besides, for only 8 TL, less than 2 AUD remaining, not just expensive food is good.
As a result, the fried mussel is the Turkish street food you must eat. But not just for the cheap, but also for the great flavour. Therefore, so popular among the citizens, if you are looking for authentic food from Turkey, midye tava is one of them.
