I often travel to eat.
This is a very local and popular restaurant in Kadikoy — not far from the ferry port:

There are three branches of that almost next to each other. One is a kebab / Ocakbasi place, another is a seafood restaurant and the third is the main one that many people go to.
Prices in that restaurant are well above average for Turkiye, but the food is good.
There are many eateries in that part of Kadikoy, a lot of whom are cheaper and the quality is not much worse.
