A simple fish restaurant in Chelak, Payariq District: you choose a fish, it is weighed and fried for you. Plenty of diners drive out from Samarkand.
Batka Baliq is in the small town of Chelak in Payariq District, about 31 km in a straight line from Registan Square in Samarkand and 14 km from the Imam al-Bukhari Memorial Complex. It is a plain, village-style place that draws people from Samarkand as well as Chelak for its fried fish.
You pick your fish, it is weighed and then fried on the spot. Reviewers say prices are low. Open every day except Monday, from 10:00 until midnight.
