Always too much garlic, chili which I love. Fish sauce totally unnecessary. Often too sour. Tabasco is perfect with fish. There's a reason it's sold in 150 countries and the company is about as many years old. You've no idea what you're talking about. It's an absolutely unique sauce and flavor, never overpowers the food. Perfect with oysters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowyWiez Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Pangasius and Tilapia come to mind for cheap white fish. With that said probably be worth investing a little into a good frying oil to balance out the omega 3's/6's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, preservatives and frozen. You might need to rifle through the supermarket freezers to find the slightly more expensive product that is preservative free. Perhaps at Big C Extra; don't remember exactly. Its not the preservarives I worry about, it's the antibiotics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two possible reasons for that 1) Freezer burn - moisture loss whist frozen which is usually an indication that the product has been stored at -18c for a long time. If the fillets are stuck together its can also be a sign that the product defrosted along the supply chain and refroze which aint good. 2) Glazing. A lot of fish/shrimp has added glaze to protect it. EU law states that weights have to be declared net of glaze, I don't know if that's the same in Thailand. In some cases, glaze can be as much as 15-20% of the total weight so you may not be getting what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangasius tastes earthy but half the price of Grouper It's a bottom grazing fish (no jokes pls) so as you say, it will taste earthy. For me it has a similar taste to the Tilapia family of fish The best fish I've ever eaten is Chilean sea bass (aka Patagonian Toothfish) and Sable Fish (aka Black cod), both have a pristine white flaky texture and have more flavour than Atlantic cod but you will pay through the nose for them.

walt1 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Most of you guys are lucky to get something close to home. I enjoy the fish and chips , but being from the midwest in the US what I miss is the Friday fish fries made at the local tavern and also wrapped in newspaper. Fresh water perch with fries or potato salad, coleslaw, tarter sauce and a piece of dark rye bread with butter. I'd pay dearly for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvorBiggun2 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Go to Makro and buy some frozen pangasius fish. My missus batters it and Bob's your uncle. No better fish available in Thailand IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 IIRC The Fish & Chip shop in SUK 25 used to sell 'Red snapper' as fried fish. Very tasty . i think this was also called Pla Nin Daeng. Wife get similar pla nin from local fish farm and serves it steamed or fried, (no batter) Firm white flesh with good taste. Much missed F&C shop, (above,) also offered 'north sea haddock' presumably imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvorBiggun2 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Norwegian Cod loin is available in Thailand. 600 Baht Kilo. Same goes for Haddock tails. Edited April 4, 2023 by IvorBiggun2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvorBiggun2 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Quote They found 'no food safety concern'. For many chemicals they found that Vietnamese pangasius contained less than other fish produced elsewhere in the world. One unpleasant thing about this myth is that it is founded in a very real tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recom273 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 8 minutes ago, Liverpool Lou said: How do catfish get "pumped full of chemicals" and what chemicals are they? All intensively reared fish are given antibiotics and hormones, it's included in their feed, it gives them the right flesh color for the supermarket, changes sex so they dont waste time and energy developing reproductive organs, allows them to build better use proteins in the food. I don't necessarily know of the specifics of Pangasius culture but after agricultural college, I spent 10+ years working in the UK aquaculture industry. Another concern is the high levels of heavy metals in the Mekong delta. There is so much negative press on Pangasius, I am sure you can do your own research. Like I say, I wouldn't say im a fan of them, but I certainly don't rule out eating them once or twice a year. It can't be much worse than eating the products of shrimp farming in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely true, this is what I mean - For example, we also feed chemicals to the Salmon in Norway and no one bats an eyelid, they just think its great to get cheaper and pinker fish in the supermarket.
