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.
