Seeing the bonito prices, they flocked to the stalls

Bonito prices in Bolu fell to 100 lira per fish from as high as 175 lira the previous week as increased catches in surrounding waters boosted supply. The roughly 43% decline drew a surge of shoppers to fish stalls, with the price drop attributed to greater fishing volumes rather than any change in demand. The shift matters for local vendors and consumers because bonito is a staple seasonal catch, and lower prices can lift turnover at markets even as per-unit revenue falls. Watch next whether the higher catch levels persist, which would determine if the 100-lira price holds or retreats further.
