Phuket Aquarium - Science & Nature Trail

Share

This visit was purely to see what had happened to the Science and Nature Trail since we last visited in 2013.

It was lovely to see that there had been some investment in the Topic and the area had been tidied up. I still have that urge to write a guide to the Aquarium for school children to 'fill in the gaps'....

Don't forget there is a geocache back here...

Dried fish markets...

Sweet dried fish with sesame seeds 

Dries fish markets are certainly not something for everyone but they are very conveniently located outside, all together and are certainly different!

The market we visited here was actually off Phuket Island - we had visited the Sarasin Bridge, visited some local temples and then we had had lunch at the Thanoon Seafood Restaurant.

 Dried Hoi?

'Pla Ching Chang' - Dragon fish

Dried Squid pieces

Dried Sting Ray

The shops were of Chinese Origin - it is clear with the small shrines placed out the back!

Mackerel in vegetable Oil

Thai Pla - preserved fish stomach and innards 

Tai Plah is used to make the famous super spicy Southern Thai curry dish, Gaeng Tai Plah. Tai Plah is made up of the fermented belly and intestines of small ocean fishes (usually pla thoo, pla sai or pla hed khon). The innards are marinated with sea salt, bottled and then set out in the sun to ferment for two to three days.

But this is the most odd - whatever it is - it is put into old whisky bottles...
