TL;DR
Traveler reports mention Saturday seafood-themed buffets at Bodrum hotels, with fried fish and salads containing squid and shrimp. Whole prawns and octopus are not guaranteed, so check with your specific hotel.
A visit to the fish restaurant included well-received sea bass, prawns, squid, and small octopus.
During one stay, no large prawns were served; small prawns appeared only once in a salad. Prawn size and presentation can therefore vary substantially.
A recent fish-day report found the fish good but the prawns dry and overcooked. Seafood quality may be inconsistent even when it is available on the buffet.
Another report mentioned crabs among the seafood, while the prawns were described as cold and bland.
A late-August query about seafood, including salmon and prawns, suggests that these items are not a fixed part of every menu; confirm current offerings before booking or with reception.
One August report described Saturday as a seafood day, with several types of fried fish plus salads containing squid, shrimp, and imitation crab. Whole prawns were not available that day.
A July report mentioned prawns, octopus, and crayfish, but no caviar. Treat this as an example of possible items rather than a daily-menu guarantee.
Compared with the previous season, when Saturday buffets reportedly included prawns and other seafood, availability in the current season was uncertain. If whole prawns matter to you, get confirmation from the hotel first.
