you can find them grilled all over Bangkok and elsewhere

it's a type of catfish (pla dook)

was wondering if there was a specific Thai name and English name relative to this particular species

thanks

well...english name is ........... catfish

thai name is pla dook...............

well,... yes

thank you

I know it's a catfish

what I'm inquiring is the specific type

as in what species

such as big ooi, ooi na, latsia. pla dook thaleh (catfish-eel: plotosus canius), etc

maybe it is only called pla dook in Thai

I was under the impression that pla dook was a general term for all catfish and not necessarily specific to this particular species

if anyone knows the english or latin or if there is a more specific thai name (or if it is indeed just plain old pla dook) please let me know

here's a picture of them before the grill

Bplaa is fish, any fish or anything fishy gets a bplaa attached to it. Bplaa duk (ปลาดุก) is catfish and there are many species.

Most likely this is of the family Clarias, by the look of them the Broadheaded Catfish, Clarias macrocephalus, Blaa duk uey (not sure of the transcription for the last bit - seen it translated as 'fat')

I suddenly have a craving for Larb Pla Dook... :o ...one of my favourite Thai dishes.

Until recently my wife used to make it at least once a week but as we are trying to cut down our sticky rice intake (due to expanding waistlines) we haven't had any for a month or two now.

Aroi, aroi!
