And what type of fish was it ? Barracuda?Big Boy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 7:59 am Unusually, I chose Fish & Chips at Le Pub last night (I rarely eat anything that lives under the water). I've no idea what it was, but the fish was the tastiest I've had since living in Thailand. I really enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, the chips were frozen, and the mushies........... what can I say about the mushies? IMHO they were garden peas that had been put through a blender. However, the chips and the mushies were worth it because of the fantastic fish.

Re: Fish & Chips
As I said, I have no idea. However, as Gary used to be the chef there before, I'd guess there is a very good chance.

Re: Fish & Chips
I’m surprised that having enjoyed it so much that you didn’t ask what type of fish it was?
Re: Fish & Chips
I'll probably not have fish for a long time now. It doesn't feature high on my priority list, and I usually quite happy with a bit of Dory when I have it. Chips and mushies are much more important to me, and those peas will remain in my memory much longer than the fish.
The chips were of the better variety of frozen, but still frozen . I guess I went on the wrong day maybe???

Re: Fish & Chips
When Gary was at La Pub he used to use Barracuda because you can buy that fresh in Thailand.
Re: Fish & Chips
I'm not complaining. Just saying it was the tastiest fish I've had in Thailand in 11 years. However, I eat so little under the water food, I haven't tried much to compare it against.
Certainly worth another visit, but I won't bother with the peas next time. That fish, and Friday's 'fresh' chips must be a winner. A winner for the Big Boy taste buds, at least.

If that was the one on the Immigration office Road(Smart House Village) then I think notchristopher1 wrote:Is May's kitchen still operating in Huahin?

I believe it moved closer to town on the pala U road opposite the temple at top of the hill and became the 19th hole
Others will confirm but I think that's the case

They certainly moved to the 19th Hole a couple of years ago. However there's a note on their website stating "Not at 19th Hole Anymore".

Re: Fish & Chips
Which do most prefer, Cod or Haddock? I don't have F&C often enough to remember which I've had, and the difference. It does seem though that if no Cod, Haddock is the go to fish here. I assume both are imported.
Is there a locally caught fish that is also sometimes used?

Re: Fish & Chips
Well, purely from a UK viewpoint - Cod is ludicrously expensive as is Haddock (but less so). Haddock is a more flavourful and lighter fish IMHO and as such the preferred option. I would assume on a cost basis the same would apply in Thailand with both fish being imported?PeteC wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 5:08 am Which do most prefer, Cod or Haddock?

Years ago on various fishing trips we used to catch Pollock on rod and line - then a relatively unknown member of the "Cod Family" in the UK, it was and is a beautiful fish. It's now far more popular and as such far more expensive than it was!!
As for fish in Thailand, I always thought Snapper was the go to replacing Cod or Haddock. I could very well be wrong though and would certainly be interested to know myself!

Re: Fish & Chips
My preference is always cod, but as with pharvey, I used to catch some very big pollack. It was always a treat eating pollack that same evening - fresh pollack had a flavour of its own (I guess fresh cod would also be preferable).

Re: Fish & Chips
I'm a cod person. However, my mother worked at Bird's Eye and after seeing the worms and bacteria in cod, she never ate it again.

Re: Fish & Chips
It’s not the bacteria and worms these days, more microplastics that you need to worry about.
As for cod or haddock, after a generous portion of salt and vinegar, I’d probably struggle to tell one from another in a blind-tasting test!!
