A Korean friend came to visit me in Thailand that day, and we hadn’t had lunch. We originally planned to go to Preecha Seafood, but for some reason lately, every time I want to take friends there, it happens to be closed for a tidy-up. So this time we tried Srinuan Seafood instead. It’s a place to look forward to, with plenty of choices for different tastes and some distinctive seafood dishes on the menu. It’s also a popular pick among local seafood lovers.
1. The Setting: A Welcoming Seafront Space with Sunset Views
Located in Na Chom Thian, Chonburi, Srinuan Seafood is often described as a local seafood restaurant with a harbor atmosphere. It faces the bay and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. From the terrace, you can watch fishing boats and the sunset while you eat, in a wonderfully relaxed setting. The spacious layout and friendly staff make it a good fit for groups and family meals.
The dishes we ordered at Srinuan Seafood today really showed off the restaurant’s fresh ingredients and authentic Thai flavors. Here’s what we tried:
1. Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic
This is one of the defining dishes of a Thai meal. At Srinuan Seafood, the fish is fresh with no fishy smell, topped with a tangy, spicy sauce of lime juice, garlic, and chilies. It’s bright and appetizing with a little heat, the kind of dish that keeps you reaching for another bite and more rice.
2. Stir-Fried Morning Glory with Shrimp Paste
A classic Thai vegetable dish: morning glory quickly stir-fried with rich shrimp paste for a bold, savory flavor. The cooking is spot on, keeping the greens crisp. Simple, but full of local character.
3. Stir-Fried Cabbage with Fish Sauce
It may look ordinary, but this is a quietly popular dish. The cabbage takes on the aroma of fish sauce, with a lightly charred sweetness from a quick stir-fry over high heat. Light and delicious with rice, it’s often ordered alongside seafood to balance the meal.
4. Grilled River Prawns
These catch your eye as soon as they arrive. Srinuan Seafood’s river prawns are plump, with fragrant, charred shells and flesh that stays sweet and juicy. The tangy, spicy Thai seafood dipping sauce brings their natural sweetness to another level.
5. Crab Fried Rice
A must-order staple! The rice grains at Srinuan Seafood are nicely separated, with plenty of shredded crab meat. You can taste the seafood’s freshness rather than just added flavoring. The generous portion works well as a dish on its own or for sharing.
6. Steamed Clams with Garlic
Hard-shell clams are steamed with minced garlic, keeping their natural sweetness and juices intact. The broth is the best part, lovely mixed into rice or used as a dip for the prawns.
3. The Highlights: Sea Views, Good Food, and Friendly Prices
