Polaris

I lived in Izmir for three years from '89 to '92.

I used to cross the bay on fairy boats daily.

I would buy a fairy dock seafood snack often that was some kind of seafood meat mixed with rice, and placed inside an oyster or clam shell with lemon juice poured over it.

Does anyone know what that snack is (common name), and/or how to make it, or a site with a recipe for it?

I've heard of the Tooth Fairy and the Fairy on the Xmas Tree, but never heard of the Seafood Snack Fairy.
