Fish

Recommended Posts

a couple of times my gal went out and bought a freshly grilled fish.

she called it a 'badu' but did'nt know the english name for it.

it was a flatfish and she just took it apart with her fingers and laid the flesh on my plate while she also ate the flesh.

it was a lovely piece of fish and being freshly cooked was so hot and seemed to just melt off the spine.

any ideas of what kind of fish it is?.

For sure, in the north and Isaan/Lao pla (fish) is bar.

It's a good fish to buy in markets because they live for ages out of water so are usually still kicking when cooked.

 

this is where i always get confused.

my gal came from just outside Roi Et and said she was an Issan gal.

looking on google earth it seemed to me that what i thought was Issan was further north.

where does Issan unofficially start?.

 

i showed her google earth and where i lived and pictures of my house and the surrounding area and she was enthralled by the difference between her home and mine.

we eventually found her village and even her house and she was just gobsmacked that she could see her home,she was so happy.

Just checked with the house fishing expert, she says there is a flat fish called bar boo.

Gave it the thumbs down as a culinary experience but she doesn't like beef either. :shakehead

 

interesting,i always had the impression Issan included the far north of thailand.

 

i admit i do find fish flesh a little bland but i normally have it with some sort of sauce.

i had a sweet chilli sauce with this fish and it was so tasty........
