This caused reactions of disappointment and dissatisfaction among visitors. Many are wondering if the exaggerated prices will prevent tourists from choosing the Romanian seaside as a destination for their May 1st mini-holiday, expressing their concern that these inflated rates could affect their experience of relaxation and fun on the Romanian seaside.

“Anchovy was usually the favorite dish of Romanians on the coast, precisely because it was also cheap, not just delicious. Okay…that’s the price for a portion served in a restaurant, but I suspect it’s a bit cheaper on the beach or at push the tray. We can say that it is anchovy at the price of seafood. But look, the good part is that it also comes with lemon.” said Valentina, for Kanald.ro.
