It is not only meat, vegetables and fruits that are sold in the spacious Khlong Toei Market. Seafood is also sold. As I wandered around the jumbled market, I came to a store selling seafood. Bangkok is located along the Chao Phraya River, but it does not face the sea. However, there was a large display of freshly landed seafood.

Thai cuisine has an image of using a large amount of shrimp. When one orders tom yum, shrimp is always included. On the other hand, I do not have an image of squid or octopus in Thai food. It may be that I have not chosen them, but there may be many dishes on the menu that use a lot of squid and octopus.

At a seafood store, a large quantity of squid, octopus, and shellfish were on display. They were freshly landed. I could not imagine how they would be cooked, but I guess that in Thai cuisine, squid and thai are spicy-fried when they are served on the table. As a Japanese, I would like to try them raw as sashimi. However, it may be difficult to buy wasabi in Thai markets.
