JimSiam Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 So it starts and in Thailand with a motorbike cart, but better than a donkey & a wagon. Hopefully this trend will continue & grow into mobile kitchens as there are many with a broad range of international foods in the States...we used to refer to them as Roach Coaches but over the past decade they've become something closer to mobile cuisine. I am just wondering how long before one of these Farang operated sidecars has an accident, they then may realise operating an illegal vehicle without insurance wasn't such a good idea as a business model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's his problem. His risk, etc...

postlaserdisc Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 He has his locations and times on his FB. just search for Dee's mobile fish and chips and you'll find it. He told me that he still sells even on election days, but just dosen't go to the bars if they are shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Bob Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 a good fish and chips starts with the right fish - firm and flakey. Atlantic Cod, Haddock, Grouper, Parrot Fish are all good. Dory Fish, Pangas, Mekong Catfish are mushy - like mushy peas. No amount of batter can disguise the fish therein. I'm interested in reviews that identify the fish - right up front.. The taste, the portion size, the price can come later (for me). Where can I find a nice Atlantic Cod fish and chips in Chiang Mai? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me that he still sells even on election days, but just dosen't go to the bars if they are shut. Tried Dee's fish and chips for the first time about a week ago and thought they were great. Hot, crunchy, and delicious. 90 thb for a double order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiddy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Hes good, i sometimes get 3x chips, definitely fills me up and i need to get 3-4x thai meal servings to fill up (ex powerlifter) so 180baht aint too bad Half the fun is riding the pushie around and trying to hunt him down Edited December 20, 2014 by Jdiddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sells an unidentified fish (and chips) for 50 baht. His patrons say the fish is tasty, affordable, and filling. I guess that's all that matters . . . . except the identity of the fish ("white fish"). It's Mekong catfish. Pangasius. Panga.

Hi Bob, You are always looking for good fish,well Makro have some S.Atlantic Hake,looks nice and white,and is only THB 359 a Kg,a lot cheaper than the Patagonian tooth fish,which is THB 750 Kg, and it just looks the same, Regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konini Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 some S.Atlantic Hake,looks nice and white,and is only THB 359 a Kg,a lot cheaper than the Patagonian tooth fish,which is THB 750 Kg, and it just looks the same, Regards Worgeordie Thanks for the tip off, I might give that a try. There is a huge difference in the taste and texture of cold water fish. I used to make sure we had fish at least once a week back home, but I find it very difficult to like warm water fish apart from wild barramundi - I hardly ever cook fish here because it's all warm water mush. Even frozen and defrosted, that hake should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used in virtually every Farang restaurant in Thailand as the main fish & chip dish,. About 100 Baht or so for 4 x 250g fish. Good value and passably tasty. The most authentic alternative to cod that I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that also the Mekong catfish in Fish 'n' Chip eateries that sell it? I'm mad for having some decent haddock and chips having read all these fish and chip pages on this forum!

Mekong Bob Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Please do let us know if you find Haddock (real deal, authentic, no alternative) here in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Please do let us know if you find Haddock (real deal, authentic, no alternative) here in Chiang Mai. Finnan Haddie, smoked Haddock,the real smoked kind ,not dyed, is delicious,poached gently in milk,just dreaming as will never see it here, think i remember seeing some for sale in Singapore ,years ago. We yearn for foods we cannot get here,but sometimes when you are able to get them after several years,they never taste the same as you remember them,an example a few years ago i had some Conference pears and Cox's Orange Pippins brought from the UK, and they were a disappointment,tasted nothing like i remember them.

Ulysses G. Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The trademarked stuff from back home always tastes the same to me, but made in Thailand stuff often does not. I still buy imported Doritos from Australia or the US, because the Thailand version is not the same. I really miss American buttermilk biscuits, but I have never tasted any over here that were more than barely acceptable (actually Popeye's Fried Chicken in Bangkok and Pattaya had good ones, but they closed down long ago). I loved yellowtail tuna sushi in USA, but what I've found here is not nearly as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
