What the creator captured
Hatay Sandık İçi braved extreme cold and frozen conditions to catch and cook yellow fish directly on the ice of Lake Çıldır. While he found the frozen tomatoes difficult to eat, he thoroughly enjoyed the fresh fish sandwich and the warmth of the tea. He concluded that despite the harsh weather, the unique experience and the company of Mustafa Abi made it a memorable adventure.
