Could also possibly be Clarias, as remains of Clarias have been in found in archaeological excavations in Anatolia. They were most likely to have originated from the River Nile in Egypt, and found their way to Turkey through supply routes for trade goods.
It is still more likely though that they are Silurus though, as, erm, Silurus says. I think Clarias were more likely to be preserved smoked fairly intact (minus the viscera) rather than cut into steaks as has been suggested by the researchers in this case.
