snoop1130 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 BANGKOK, March 2 (TNA) – The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) confirm that an illegal slaughterhouse raided by the police did not deliver monitor lizard meat to a fish ball factory but the meat was destined for restaurants, serving wildlife meat at the border in Trat province. A Facebook page posted the photos of monitor lizards and a message, saying the police raided a major fish ball factory, using monitor lizard meat to make fish balls and the lizard’s white flesh did not have unpleasant fishy smell. Sun-dried lizard skin was also used to make crispy fried fish skin for sale nationwide.

Enoon Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) I have never been able to differentiate between the "varieties" of Thailands over-celebrated, so called, "fish/meat" balls. Hyper-minced, pale, paste balls of offal, bones and skin, with a bit of flavouring appropriate to their alleged origin, is what they seem to be. I'll take coarse minced monitor flesh as an alternative any day. The alleged fish/meat balls, and their torpedo shaped frankfurter style cousins, are "The Kings New Clothes" of Thai cuisine.
