racyrick Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Does anybody know a place where I can eat or purchase Wahoo? I know you can go fishing for Wahoo, but I would just like to find a restaurant that features Wahoo on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'll bite, though i am not exactly a fish expert. Only fish recipe i can stomach is fish&chips, and in Thailand ordering this often leads to a disappointment, even if the place is run by some British type of person. As far as your question is concerned, I reckon your best bet would be walking down Beach Road in Patong. At the many seafood restaurants, fish they (hopefully) purchased that day will be displayed outside, and you know what a Wahoo looks like. Bon appetit.

Congrats on catching the wahoo, but why didn't you save me a nice juicy steak I have never seen wahoo on the streets in Patong-not an option. I want wahoo!!

Personally I go fishing (actually prefer catching over fishing) for fish that I like to eat, not to throw back, unless they are under sized... And yes, some fish are hard to get a hook out of and it can be dangerous to do so. I suppose you can cut the line and leave the hook in and hope the fish survives. By the way McFarang, nice fish! Nothing like fresh caught the day you eat it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all he was not a paying client as we are a club although he did help cover fuel costs.We always knew if we were going to catch one we would keep it as they are not a Billfish or a protected species. Lastly 16 people had a very nice meal out of it and 5 guys had a great day out with perfect weather and a few beers after, whats so wrong with that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 There's no problem catching and killing a single fish from the sea if you're going to eat it. All those who think that is wrong, I suggest you go and picket the fishing port. Don't forget some placards with suitable "fish-murderer" slogans, to wave.

seajae Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 There's no problem catching and killing a single fish from the sea if you're going to eat it. All those who think that is wrong, I suggest you go and picket the fishing port. Don't forget some placards with suitable "fish-murderer" slogans, to wave. I have always fished catch and release if I am not going to eat it. If the hook is too well in the fish it is just cut off as it will either dissolve(rust) or be regurgitated. I have also only ever taken legal sized, non protected fish unlike all thai fishermen that remove everything no matter if it is protected or what ever size . Catching and eating fresh fish is the only way to go although I kept my first marlin(striped) and it took 12 months to eat it all but because I had been shown how to freeze it properly it tasted just as good from the first to the last steak. No one has the right to tell others what they can eat so anyone that cannot accept people eating any type of food that was live at some stage need to get a life or just cut their own throats if they cannot handle it, they are pathetic whingers. Have to agree 100% with karenbravo, if you are going to eat it, keep it otherwise release it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish and chips worked for me I use Wahoo for fish and chips all the time - even without the chips. egg - alittle beer panko and oil also grill or in butter yummy fillet, skin and debone the meat, remove all the blood lines so it is pure clean meat, cut into small pieces, dip in flour, batter then deep fry till golden, mate it is mouth watering, mackeral can be done the same way as can Mahi mahi and most pelagic species. If you want you can cut the backbone into sections and BBQ after removing fins top and bottom, perfect fish ribs. PS. mix a bit of wasabi with mayonaise to dip it in, yum.

Amir Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 If I am not wrong, Wahoo is a kind of King Mackerel and it's called "Pla Insee" in Thai. You can find it in every market cut in steaks or salted and kept in transparent plastic cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somchai Mao Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 As long as you eat the fish and it's not a protected species I don't see what the problem is. Hope you enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassdude007 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 You want to see some wasted fish ..
