gennisis Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Have been looking for Barramundi fillets but dont know what the Thai name is. Have found that Rimping Mee Chok has a good variety of frozen fish but have not seen Barramundi there,,,unless its labeled in Thai, I underdstand it is widely farmed here so it must be about Edited August 19, 2010 by gennisis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boksida Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Plakapong Kao, but might be labelled as Sea Bass or Sea Perch. Edited August 19, 2010 by Boksida 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabassskin Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Plakapong Kao, but might be labelled as Sea Bass or Sea Perch. Plakapong Khoa is not the same as a barramundi, it is more like a seabass. Barramundi and seabass are very simmilar, but there are differences. The meat of the sea bass is a little dryer than the barramundi. (talking about warm water fish) The nose of the sea bass is longer as well.

sabaijai Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Plakapong Kao, but might be labelled as Sea Bass or Sea Perch. Yes that is the correct Thai term (ปลากะพงขาว plaa kaphong khao). As for the English translation, Wiki likes 'Asian seabass.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barramundi Latin name: Lates calcarifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to buy barra in the market..no idea what thai name is just bought it by apperance..maybe it was sea bass? Anyway since then started buying something the wife calls "Tomuk" ( spell?/pronounced phonetically)...lovely fish ...tastes and texture of sea perch used to buy frozen in Europe if I can remember lol.. .worth a try... I think better than barra....and priced below barra at 130-160 baht/kilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
