Phuket's Giant Prawns
Back in October when my husband and I were in Thailand, we went to this one particular seafood restaurant in Hua-Hin where I know some of the waiters since back in the 90′s. That was one reason why we liked eating in that restaurant but the other reason , most important reason, was their giant Phuket prawns and lobsters! They serve it charcoal grilled, , baked, or fried. In this particular night we ordered them steamed with loads of garlic
The taste was just unbelievable! I used to think that large prawns taste less than the smaller ones..but I was so wrong.
to show how gigantic they were, I asked my husband to put out his hands like he was measuring the prawns. My husband who is +6ft. tall has large and long hands. So do you have any idea of the size now.
These prawns can never be found in markets in Holland (unless in those expensive restaurants that order them straight from Thailand) but in Thailand, they are sold rather cheap. About Baht 1,500 a kilo, raw.
Now I’m missing Thailand, gheez!

Yep – garlic prawns sure are nice. I had Squid in lemon sauce today though along with fish boiled Neung Buway or Boi – some sort of Chinese citrus fruity sauce – also very tasty
