Fish Market | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

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.

I hope you enjoyed my Fresh seafood Naklua market photo blog.

Pattaya Fish Market Naklua Road

September 4, 2015 by David Herd

A great place to buy fresh seafood.

Pattaya Fish Market Naklua Road

Pattaya Fish Market Naklua Road is located in Naklua about 5 kms from central Pattaya. Just jump on a Baht bus & you are there in 10 minutes for 10 Baht or 70 cents.

Very fresh

Many products are still alive & kicking, they will kill & clean the fish for you then pack them in ice so you can take them home to cook.

Alive and Kicking

Here is my friend Pothole choosing dinner.

Clams, mussels and prawns.

A great choice at the Pattaya Fish Market.

These guys will cook for you

Choose you lunch and they will cook it for you.

Live lobsters

Rather expensive as you can see.

How about a Baby shark?

They even look dangerous when they a small. 🙂

Fresh vegetables as well

A good selection at reasonable prices.

Cleaning the fish

Choose from the live tank and they will scale and clean them for you.

Anyone for catfish?

The variety is incredible, anything you desire is here.

Man at work

A very interesting place to spend an hour or so.

A mountain of mussels

Seeing all these mussels reminded me of when I was in Brussels last year, the Belgians are absolutely crazy about them, check out my blog called Beer, Fries & Mussels.

Pattaya Fish Market

It real is worth a visit, get something cooked and eat in the adjacent park.

Adjacent to the market

Enjoy the view from the walkway beside the gulf.

Lamchabang port in the distance

Laem Chabang is a large commercial port with not much else in the area. The large cruise ships stop here and they can buy souvenirs and get a massage at the cruise terminal, there is also a shopping centre. Smaller ships may head up the Chao Phraya River and dock at Khlong Toei Port relatively close to Bangkok’s city centre.

Low tide

High and dry at low tide at Pattaya Fish Market.

Low tide at Naklua

Those blocks of condos have all sprung up in the last 2 years. This view is from beside the fish market. Out of picture to the right is the Sanctuary of Truth.

Sanctuary of Truth

Sanctuary of Truth is a temple, an all-wood building filled with sculptures based on traditional Buddhist and Hindu motifs. More photos on THIS LINK.
