Bucharest Turbot Price Sparks Debate: Is 100 Lei for Fish a Fair Deal?
Bucharest, Romania – A recent social media video has ignited discussions among consumers regarding the price of local delicacies, specifically turbot fish. Local content creator Lucian Popa shared his experience purchasing a portion of turbot and polenta in Bucharest for 100 Romanian Lei (approximately 20 Euros). In the video, Mr. Popa questions the vendor about the seemingly high price. The vendor, identified as 'The Grillfather Florin' by his apron, defended the cost, stating, 'This one is 100 Lei. It weighed 400 grams raw, and after cooking, it's about 250 grams.' He further elaborated on the value, claiming, 'It's the cheapest in Romania. If you go to a restaurant, they weigh it raw, and it would be double the price, easily 150 Lei for 200 grams.' He also suggested that similar portions at the seaside would cost even more. The video, uploaded on August 25, 2025, quickly garnered significant attention, accumulating over a million views and thousands of comments, with many users debating the fairness of the price and sharing their own experiences with food costs in Romania and abroad. This incident highlights ongoing consumer concerns about inflation and the accessibility of traditional dishes in urban centers.
