Phuket is not only fun but also delicious. Today, let’s satisfy everyone’s taste buds and start our food tour.
We all know that in Phuket, it’s inevitable that at least two of the three meals a day are seafood!
But even so… The seafood in Thailand still makes your mouth water! Alright! No! Sure!
In the past, many people who came to Phuket would definitely go to Banzan Seafood Market to have seafood. It is also a very famous seafood market in the local area.
In fact, there is another economical and less crowded seafood market in Thailand, called Rawi Seafood Market. Just like eating seafood here, after selling the seafood, you directly ask a restaurant to process it. It’s simple and straightforward.
The Laweihai Fresh Market is not large, but the seafood at each stall is quite fresh and always lively and lively. There are a wide variety of seafood, including all kinds of lobsters, abalones, shrimps of different sizes and varieties, as well as prawns as long as arms, conches, shellfish, crabs and grouper. However, even for the same category of seafood, the prices at each store may vary slightly. Be sure to compare and bargain more!
Since not many people come here, it’s still quite easy to bargain. We can negotiate at about one-third of the marked price, and most merchants can accept it.
After purchasing the seafood, the next step is to have it processed by a restaurant. Generally, the charge is calculated at 100 Thai baht per jin. Here, you can also bargain with the boss. Although it says 100 Thai Baht per jin, many stores will still overcharge you. It’s not a problem to bargain 100 to 200 Thai baht.
After confirmation, the store owner will introduce how to cook seafood to make it more delicious. You can also order from the menu or tell the store owner to make it according to your favorite taste
tips for strolling and eating at the seafood market
Seafood vendors can go door-to-door to test.
Don’t be shy when bargaining. Bargain more often. When choosing a restaurant for processing, you can look at where there are more people eating in the restaurant. If there are more people, it indicates that the taste of this restaurant is more suitable for people in that area.
The Laweihai Fresh Market is located on the southeast side of the island. As some sections of the mountain road are quite steep and steep, if you are not used to driving, it is recommended that you take a taxi there.
However, it’s not practical to say that food at street stalls is the best in Phuket. To be honest, the food at roadside stores is really not as good as that at hotel restaurants. If you really don’t know where to eat, it’s better to just stay at the hotel and have a meal.
