DUHOK, Iraq’s Kurdistan region,— A new fish joint with an unusual name “Trump Fish” opened up in Duhok city in Iraqi Kurdistan, in mid-November. The restaurant is named after the American president-elect Donald Trump and uses his face as a logo. ‘Trump Fish’ serves grilled fish and is surfing on the wave of popularity for the American billionaire.
The restaurant uses a cartoon version Trump’s face as a logo — though his hair and eyebrows are a bright yellow rather than the burnt orange the president-elect favors. “Trump Fish” reportedly serves up grilled carp at $10.50 a plate that are caught from a nearby lake.During the campaign, Trump won fans among the Kurdish populations of Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkey by supporting their call for an autonomous state, views that led many Iraqi Kurds to celebrate when Trump won the American presidential election on November 8, 2016.
