jagi00 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Where can I buy smoked haddock or cod in CM? I did see smoked cod at (I think) Airport Rimping a few weeks ago but didn't have my freezer bag with me. Checked out Rimping and Makro today but couldn't find any.

worgeordie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The only Cod or Smoked Haddock I have seen is in TOPS, Waitrose ,small packets and quite expensive. Then Rim Ping supermarkets stock some what is labeled as Atlantic Cod,but its processed in China,so it could be anything I suppose. Makro has some Hokki ?, frozen from NZ, believe that is a nice white fish. I hope it helps, could just eat a plate of Finnan Haddie the noo. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Bob Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 For fish & chips, or fried fish sandwiches, my favorite fish is Atlantic haddock. Hard to find around here, frozen or smoked, but I'm always looking. John Dory fish is what seems to be the local alternative, but it just is not as good - in my opinion. Goose's Fish Restaurant in Pattaya has haddock on their menu - will definitely try it someday - at any price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose's Fish Restaurant in Pattaya has haddock on their menu - will definitely try it someday - at any price. What is sold as Dory, is actually farmed catfish from Vietnam, that is the problem today,shortage of quality fish,so other species of fish,some from the depths ,that if you seen them before they are processed,you would be afraid to eat, are sold as well known fish,once the skin is off difficult to tell what it is,I read somewhere that 40% of the fish sold in New York is mislabeled ,and been sold as prime fish,so if that can happen there,you have no chance here. regards Worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like a smoked haddock served with a poached egg on top for breakfast. Thanks for all the suggestions - guess I'll keep looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever try to order frozen haddock from Goose's supplier in Pattaya or Bangkok? If we'd need to place a large order, I'm interested in combining several orders into one. Interested?

Often the 'taste' memory proves dissapointing. I did make my smoked haddock shipment last for a few months and did enjoy...but my memories of large fillets will just have to be memories I guess.. together with a large grilled Finnan Haddock...Oh Joy !! Maybe one day Harry Ramsden will open up here,now that would be something. ..I have always preferred Haddock to Cod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great. If your traveling up Suthep Rd away from the moat cross Canal Rd and take the first right into a small cluster of buildings. Take another right into the parking lot and it's the building on your left. Thanks for the directions, I found the place. BUT there were no smoked trout to be seen (frozen? I saw some freezer cases with what looked like frozen fish inside but they were unmarked). The store mostly had things like honey, dried and candied Thai fruits, dried packaged noodles and some vegetables (that were more expensive than those being sold by vendors outside in the parking lot). Many products had no names so it was hard to identify exactly what they were. A product that looked suspiciously like miso base (for miso soup) was written in Thai only; it might at least have used the word "miso" somewhere. Some products had no price on them. I was not impressed especially by the arrogant attitude of the store clerk who looked like she was doing you a favor by taking your money (I bought some honey). I was the only shopper inside. The next door coffee shop was far busier as were the outside vendors. From what I saw, I would not return as all the major retailers sell the same things, manytimes in bilingual packaging, often at better prices, and with friendlier staff. I'll stick with Rimping and Makro. Edited November 24, 2012 by TheVicar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on Huay Kaew usually has smoked trout (but nothing else except yogurt with expired dates). Honestly I don't see how that place stays open.

It's a "buying frenzy" for CM's middle & upper classes. Obviously the demand is there. Where are they buying the rest of the year?

I don't do my own cooking, but maybe someone who does would be interested. I usually just order the cheap dory and chips at Goose's. It tastes better than real cod at the other places I have tried in Thailand because someone there really knows how to cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot1988 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 actually vietnam pangasius makes some very decent battered fish. just marinated them in milk overnight, flaky and mild in flavor. makes it really great with vinegar. i deep fried with my anchor beer batter almost every other day. the only thing with them is their thickness, way too thin for fish n chips imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartd1 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Pangasius is easily cooked, cheap and tasty, but: http://www.dietmindspirit.org/2008/01/30/why-you-shouldnt-eat-this-fish-pangas-pangasius-vietnamese-river-cobbler-white-catfish-gray-sole/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
