Maybe Bangkok should be renamed the city of Angelfish!

1. Forget the hustle, I’ll have takeaway please, takeaway seafood that is! – ปูพ่นไฟ Puponfai

What sounds better than a major seafood feast, all from the comforts of your lovely home, away from the sweaty Bangkok streets? How about nothing, especially if you’re a seafood freak like myself. 

What’s the deal? They’re actually a take-away place serving delicious crustaceans, and their crab seems to be the winner. The amount of roe these crabs have is ridiculous!

If you’re in the mood for something lighter, they do delish fried rice with seafood of your choice. Prawns, crab and squid, all are available and as equally scrumptious on their own.

The actual size of their seafood is fantastic, so you really feel like you’re getting your money’s worth, and you can also order from them online – so there’s no hustling on the streets either. What a pleasure!

2. All the seafood fried rice you could imagine! – เฮียใ4ห้ Here Hai Restaurant

This could possibly be one of the biggest seafood fried rice plates I have ever seen!

Also, their Calamari fried rice dish looks simply divine, and you can just see that the squid is cooked right and tender.

But it’s not only their fried rice dishes that are huge, the size of the seafood and the plate are just as big too!

You’ll also be delighted to know that their seafood is as fresh as fresh can be, and gets delivered to this famous spot (it’s actually appeared on Thai TV quite a bit!), straight from the harbour every morning.

Being pretty darned popular among the locals, it’s pretty much always full, so do bear this in mind when paying them a visit!

3. For that price, you don’t have to ask me twice to pay a visit – เพราะดี Because Good Restaurant (aka Phor Dee)

You better come hungry for this one, because we’re talking buffet-style baby! (And a seafood buffet at that.)

So basically you pay a set price (only 1088 Baht, for unlimited !!!!) and for the next two hours you can feast on as much seafood as you like. There’s so much variety and different dishes to try!

There are platters of crab, from claw to meat, plates of deep-fried prawns covered in a sticky-sweet sauce, juicy oysters and even canape-style glasses of shrimp cocktail.

I’m also loving the marine-themed interiors, with a wooden captain’s wheel perched on the wall! Of course, it suits perfectly, and makes you feel as if you’re truly out as sea, feasting to your hearts’ content!

4. Seafood so fresh you can still hear them singing Under The Sea – Tai Kong Seafood

Plus, it’s an eat-all-you-can bonanza! While they might not have supersized seafood the size of your face, the freshness more than makes up for it.

With a river of shrimp running down the length of the restaurant, you can be sure to have your fill. Simply pick the prawns you want (beside your table no less!), and cook them up!

All of your favorite shellfish in one place. I’m talking prawns, crabs, scallops, clams and a Malaysian/Singaporean favourite: razor clams.

Once you’ve polished everything off – grab some ice cream for a grand finale~

5. We want all the additional toppings here! – Pae Radna

Pae Randa translates to ‘additional toppings’ and it’s the best place to find seafood toppings.

Dishes at Pae Radna range from just a few dollars for a generous plate of seafood, right up to the humongous $350 platter, a feast fit for a King and his entire army.

The highlight of this restaurant is the fantastic owner and chef ,who makes a huge effort to chat with all his customers – and is clearly passionate about his seafood!

If you get chance to visit, you should try the award winning lobster – it’s so juicy and tasty! And if you love oysters then you will also be in heaven at Pae Radna. This is where you’ll get to enjoy plates of giant oysters with some truly unique sauces.

Pae Radna focuses on great seafood and a relaxing evening. The restaurant has basic décor, but the vast menu and charismatic staff make it an experience to remember.

6. Ah, our dearly beloved… – Jeh O Chula ร้านเจ๊โอว

If you’ve never had the pleasure of paying this family-run restaurant that has been running for 40 years, we suggest you get here asap!

Serving up authentic Thai dishes packed with punch and flavour, you won’t be disappointed.

The latest addition to the menu is their Hot and Sour Mama noodles with seafood. This dish only starts to be served at 11pm – be warned, the queue for this can get really long!

Honestly, what could be better than a huge bowl of perfectly balanced, sweet, sour and spicy seafood soup?

Other dishes for order include delicately sliced pieces of cured salmon, quick-fried in a spicy, sweet sauce (with just the right amount of chili, garlic and lime).

This is a great place with extensive seafood dishes, so you’re spoilt for choice in terms of flavours tonight.

7. You can find huge lobsters and gigantic crabs in Siam Paragon – Crab and Claw

The lobsters and crabs are mostly imported from the US, so generally, prices are not that low. A crab of this size would probably cost around 1,800-2,000 Baht.

If you are shopping in Siam Paragon, why not drop by for dinner?

8. Giant shrimps as big as your arm! – Siam 77 Vintage Home & Restaurant

Looking at Siam 77 you might think you have stepped back in time, as this old converted house might feel like you’re stepping into your parent’s house.

Don’t be fooled though, there are some serious seafood monsters inside. Have you ever seen a shrimp as big as your arm? Well, you will at Siam 77.

Offering a huge range of seafood dishes, Siam 77 is famous for its giant shrimps which are sold by weight.

Expect authentic spicy Thai dishes and the promise that all seafood is fresh and never frozen.

The seafood is even better when you sit outside next to the river and enjoy a refreshing coconut drink too!

9. The highlight of seafood street food – Somsak Pu Ob

At 4pm each evening in Thanon Charoen, a gentle buzz starts to grow… a street food vendor sets up his stall, and a queue begins to form…

Introducing Somsak Pu Ob, a seafood stall with a difference that offers unique Thai/Chinese fusion dishes. The crab and prawn vermicelli is simply out of this world. The portions might be on the smaller side, so if you are hungry then order two.

Try to arrive before 5.30pm, if not be prepared to queue (trust us, it’s totally worth queuing for though!).

Somsak Pu Ob has remained true to its humble beginnings and the chef only ever cooks 4 dishes at a time to ensure every meal is perfect.

The best news? Somsak Pu Ob is opening a second branch! This means the same outstanding food but less queues – brilliant!

Somsak Pu Ob really is street food at its finest!

10. Ever tried Thai claypot porridge? – Joke Perd Moh Paradise

Claypot porridge is the newest and coolest dish on the menus in Bangkok, and nowhere does it better than Joke Perd Moh Paradise.

The restaurant only opened in January 2016 and it’s taking Bangkok by storm. Combining delicious rich porridge broth with fresh seafood – it’s a winner.

You have three bases to pick from, the tom yam porridge, the super chicken porridge and the original pork porridge. Next, pick what you want to add from the huge menu of additional ingredients.

The Claypot River Prawn Tom Yam porridge is amazing, with just the right amount of spice and sourness with mountains of prawns…yum!e

The restaurant is hot, busy and has an amazing atmosphere (oh and the smell of cooking food is incredible).

So, are you tempted to try porridge in Thailand yet?

11. This Tom Yam will rock your world – P’Aor

All you need to know is that P’Aor serves the best seafood Tom Yam Goong noodles in the world!

Imagine a bowl of creamy, slightly spicy noodle-filled broth piled high with prawns, fish and shellfish… (Are you salivating just imagining it?!)

This little restaurant really is a hidden gem, tucked away down a side street where only true seafood lovers will find it.

P’Aor is where the locals hang out so don’t expect a translated menu that comes in English. Just order what you want from one of the photographs and tuck in. Doesn’t matter what you choose, it will be delicious!

When it comes to Tom Yam you know where we’ll be!

PS: If you really want to treat yourself try the Lobster noodles, it’s slightly more expensive but so worth it we promise.

12. Have an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet for 499 Baht (USD $15)! – Mungkorn Seafood

The Mungkorn experience is a race against the clock – 90 minutes to sample as much seafood as possible, but don’t be late or you will be charged overtime.

What a great idea. Visit the buffet and select all your favorite seafood then gather round your BBQ, and share this dining experience with your friends and family. (At 499 Baht, it’s definitely worth your money!!)

Try the whole fish and make sure you stock up on the prawns too. You can even break up your seafood extravaganza with some red meat and vegetables.

To top it all off, you can enjoy free flow beer and soft drinks too – it sounds like the perfect night.

Mungkorn is the best food and best fun you can have in 90 minutes!

13. Unlimited seafood under an incredible stardust ceiling – Laemgate

It’s another 90 minute feeding frenzy but this time it’s an a la carte experience. Choose from over 20 mouthwatering dishes whilst feasting on unlimited oysters and shrimp from just 555 Baht (Approximately USD $15.5)!

The interiors of Laemagate is as amazing as the seafood. The dancing ocean (or stardust gallery) ceiling display transforms the entire restaurant. It’s spectacular!

Plates are too boring for Laemgate, expect your oysters to be served in little carts and other quirky dishes.

The concept is unique and comes with unlimited seafood dishes, cooked to order in a sophisticated, classy setting.

Don’t forget your 90 minutes – time flies when you are having fun!

14. Must-try: Deep fried seabass! – Lam Cha-Reon Seafood

Shopping and seafood, two great things all in one place!

Take a break from shopping at Siam Paragon and visit the super stylish Lam Cha-Reon seafood restaurant.

This restaurant is famous for serving fantastic seafood, and it now has 8 busy branches and the quality is still amazing.

The menu is massive and you can expect a spicy kick in most of the dishes.

Lam Cha Reon offers a delicious range of fried fish, and we especially love the deep fried seabass. It’s crispy on the outside and moist and fresh inside – perfection!

Once you have visited one branch of Lam Cha Peon you will want to visit them all.

So what are you waiting for? Bangkok is full of amazing seafood restaurants that you just have to try! (Who could resist the incredible giant shrimps as big as an arm!!)
