Fresh seafood Naklua market
Fresh seafood Naklua market, it’s been 4 years since I published my blog on this lively venue, so I thought it was time to re-visit & see what changes have taken place.
The variety is amazing.
So is the crowd, better to visit mid week if you can.
Price is per kilo
I’m guessing you would get around 3 for a kilo.
Many varieties of fish
Including live fish that they will clean for you on the spot.

Lots of fresh vegetables also on sale.
Scallops look very good.
There are so many choices, how do you make a decision on what to have for lunch? 🙂
First I’m going to try an oyster.
These are B50 each or $1.60 USD, there are also some for B40, or $1.30 USD. I can buy imported oysters from France at El Mercado in Bangkok for the same price.
Quite large as you can see
I was pleasantly surprised, very tasty even without lemon, lime or sauce.
OK, now for some fresh prawns
B270 or $9 USD a kilo, what a bargain.
Now here is the clincher…
This guy will cook your prawns or other seafood for B30 a kilo, how easy is that?
He will even supply a chair. 🙂
So you can eat the freshly cooked seafood right here. We had our prawns boiled rather than barbecued, so we decided to eat them at home after they cooled down.
Here is the result
Delicious on a fresh bread roll from Central Marina.

They will cook fish for you as well.
So many varieties of shellfish
I’m not sure what some of these are.
I guessing this is an unusual type of prawn or shrimp.
They are quite a strange looking creature selling at B1500 a kilo, or a whopping $72 AUD.
More crab
As they say in the classics, too much crab is never enough. 🙂
Mussels
Not one of my favourites for some reason.
This is a super prawn. 🙂
Great shot, this & the next one were taken by Mike McNamee from the group Pattaya 24/7. Fairly expensive at B1300 a kilo, or $62 AUD.
Only B280 a kilo
That’s more in my price range. 🙂
That’s all for now folks.
