Bob, do you know that my fish bags were wrapped with a tape , which was saying "Checked by U.S. Border Security" , as i opened my luggages when i got back to Turkey. This was the first thing i saw when i opened my luggages and freaked out. Buttt, no all fish were fine and untouched. So it is not illegal to take fish out, believe me

. Yes, it is not legal here in Turkey to bring those fish but here customs are more interested in iphones and ipad than innocent fish.
