I’ve been paying a few visits to a fish market close to where I live in Bangkok.

At night the place sorts and sells sea fish trucked up from southern Thailand but in the day the catch is all river and farmed freshwater fish.

There are lots of small mackerel, one the most popular fish in Thailand.

The market acts as a distribution centre, sending the sorted fish to other markets around Bangkok and up country.

The most plentiful fish are farmed Nile perch or pla nin.

All  sections in the market are owned and run by Chinese-Thai traders but the hardworking labour is from Myanmar.

It’s hungry work and pla tu, fried mackerel, are always a firm favourite.
