taxi99 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm looking for a take-away dish, it is a smoked mackeral, about 15 inches long, always on a styrofoam plate, covered with gladwrap and comes with two sauce sachets. One is a dark sweet sauce, the other is a greenish, hot, spicy one. I'm talking Bangkok, ok. I used to find them on Samseng Road, always at street stalls, but they haven't been there for a long time. In April I did buy them near the overpass bridge , not far from the "China World" shopping centre. I was there today and no luck! Of course my Thai is lacking. Their usually about 80-90 bht, depending on the size of the fish, absolutely delicious. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepsel Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have seen them in Chiang Mai at Tops and Rimping Stores, but I don't think there were sauces in the packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I rather doubt it's smoked mackerel. Smoking isn't a technique used much in Thai cookery. However, grilled mackerel is available in pretty well every supermarket here. You may need to buy the sauces separately, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi99 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Definitely smoked, I've done a bit of hot-smoking. You know what they say about smoking fish, hell of a job to roll'em and worse still to keep the soggy buggers alight. I'm still looking and when I find one I'll photo it. The saba don't appeal to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
