Last week i was at the Khlong Toey markets the biggest wet market in Bangkok city and as i said last wek this Khlong Toey market is huge is why i need to split it up into a few posts today i am going to show you the seafood section of this huge market.
As i walking down these endless rows of seafood isles it was like been underwater in a ocean fish not swimming but flying out of there trays that's how fresh they are still wiggling around and jumping out of there trays a couple times they landed in front of me it was like playing side stepping the fishes and eels landing in front of me 🙂
Look closely at this photo you with see a fish in mid air jumping out of the tray 😅
Some sections can get a bit bloody and raw as you walking down these rows and rows of seafood so if your a bit faith hearted it might not be a good idea for you to be wondering around in this section of the market maybe stick to the fruits and veggies or cloths and handbags...lol.
Looking at all these prawns was making me so hungry for prawns i wanted to BBQ them right there with a couple of cold beers to go with it.
Squids are my other delicacy as with seafood nicely BBQ with some chili and lemon and they had mountains of squids in this wet market it did make me wonder would they sell all this seafood by closing time.
Crabs was the other seafood that they had in abundance i love crabs if someone breaks them up for me otherwise it's to much effort for me i can never seem to break them up the right way and end up eating shell and all 😅
Shells , Snails and other types of shells were all here also.
You do get a lot of restaurant owners coming to this wet market buying up loads of seafood so i would image most would be sold by the end of the day and if your wondering when you go into a seafood restaurant or street vendor barbecuing fish or squid this is where it's come from.
And if your wondering why are those fish so bloody red it's not my camera it's the red umbrellas casting that red shade over the seafood.
As with the prices each 30 baht is $1 US dollar so you see a ticket which has 60 written on it means $2 US a kilo pretty cheap seafood...yeah...well i hope you enjoyed Part-2 of Seafood i will be back next week with Part-3.
