If you are in the Jomtien area, early morning about 5-6 o'clock half way along beach road, there is a few fishing boats selling what they just caught that night. ( it's not cheap, but fresh ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( it's not cheap, but fresh ) There's still the remnants of a trawler wharf right in the middle of walking street where you could sit and eat fresh cooked food right off the trawlers. Back in the 80's. Maybe even later. They used to tie up about 9PM. Edited December 5, 2022 by ozimoron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyngai Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I do not eat any seafood when I am in Chiang Mai, formalin is much cheaper then refrigerated trucks.

I was once in the market when a flatbed truck rolled up to unload a cargo of chicken ,which was in bags with what looked like dirty water , it was only covered with a sheet with some ice spread among the load, when they pulled the sheet back the smell nearly knocked me off my feet , put me off chicken for a while..... regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ed strong Posted December 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2022 These are processed Tripes being cleaned in a solution of hydrogen perxoide and formalin. The peroxide keeps it white but it is washed out at the end and they will NOT be in your street meat or bbg, Its worth too much to be included and the processes to get this stage are not that easy This is a normal process that is done all across Europe, (albeit not illegally) 90% of these type of stomachs products are for export to Hong Kong or directly into China. A 40' container will hold 24 - 25MT, the amount found here This product would not be for street meat type products as its worth a lot more than chicken breasts for example when you work out the price per kg. Beef 'honeycomb' tripe retials at around 10 dollars per kg. Unprocessed green tripes end up in pet food or perhaps some human food however its not that cheap at all and even unprocessed its still worth more than chicken wings in terms of per kg. What ends up in processed meats is far worse that whats in the pictures here. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogradod Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 *Deleted post edited out* I must admit that I am quite touched by these news...........for this seems to be going on for quite some time - where exactly I do not know. I remember many years ago, we did often eat at the Hua Hin Night Market (where all these sea food restaurants are along the street). And then a rumour came up that our favourite restaurant had used formalin to preserve its merchandise. True or not I do not know. But it did prevent us from visiting them any more - although they seemed to be tastier than the venues near the Hilton which are built into the sea. Now this. Just imagine, Formalin is as well preferably used to preserve dead corpses. WIll see how we cope with that one. Starting to catch fish ourselves ? How about meat ? For chicken the issue seems to have been eaten, too ???? Any formalin detectors on Lozada ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it had a strong smell. Wouldn't people notice that smell or a bad taste with this meat? Or how do they process that so that people eat it? Pretty much all of our food stuffs are covered in chemicals of some sort, hence why you should always wash veg before cooking and its no different from this stuff, wash it and generally you will remove all tastes of it. In the UK we often use bleach to get them white as stomachs can be green from the staining of the grass and no one wants to eat green dim sum. Dim sum in Chinese restaurants is where most of this stuff ends up, not cheap and certainly not in any street meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
