The perpetual protein
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 10/02/2019
» Thais are experts when it comes to eating fish. This has to do with people's lifestyle since the old days, as their lives have always intertwined with rivers and canals. A variety of fish is easy to find. People don't even have to buy them because they can catch fish themselves. From experience, people soon learn distinctive qualities about each fish and what sort of food should be made from it, including how to season it and what kind of vegetables would go with it. Another mindset is to not let the fish go to waste. If a lot of fish are caught, they can be preserved to eat later.

Net closing in on seafood's future
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 25/02/2018
» Just last month I visited Wonnapa beach in Bang Saen, Chonburi. We drove past a seller who was busy arranging her freshly caught pu ma (blue crab). Priced at 150 baht per kg, it was cheaper than what you would see elsewhere. But these crabs are tiny and apparently not worth all the cleaning, cracking open and picking to get at the small amount of meat. Furthermore, buying them means you are supporting the fishermen to catch immature animals.

The fish that makes a great catch
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 12/03/2017
» I'm sure that there are many people who have the same relationship with catfish dishes that I do. When they think of a particular favourite -- grilled catfish with boiled neem flowers and the sweet-spicy sauce called nam plaa waan, or the fish deep-fried with spicy seasonings and crisp-fried basil leaves scattered on top -- they crave to eat some right then and there.
