Yellow rice with herring

Yellow rice with herring/ Arroz con arenque/ Locrio de arenque

 

All I would really need to make this meal is herring. Is herring easily accessible in Thailand? If not, would it be accessible in one of the international markets in Bangkok and Chiang Mai?

No herring.  Would mackerel (readily available here) be a suitable substitute?

In all honesty, I don't know because I'm not much of a chef and I also never tried yellow rice with mackerel. Herring is pretty salty though ( at least the way that it comes packaged), I'm not sure if that makes any difference in helping to understand the differences that may arise in meal preparation.

Ah.  I misunderstood.  I thought you wanted fresh fish.

 

Maybe one of these is what you're looking for:

Thanks for the link.

 

I normally wouldn't buy it in can form, but if I could find one that is plain and un-flavored then it might be okay. I wonder if I could have just import it from the US via my luggage as long as it's small enough ounces.

Not exactly what you're craving, but ever try khao pad pla salid? It's delicious.

I'll have to look this new dish up. Thanks.
