Samaesan Part V: Around Samaesan

1. Samaesan Market
One of the most interesting place to go in a fishing village is always its seafood market. Taking photo, finding rare fish and shopping is among the few good reasons to be there.

A live sharks for sales - I tried it in one restaurant in Jomtien, the meat is tender and sweet

Live blue crab - according to locals, bottom trawling boat has not been operated for some times due to inflated oil price, it gives an opportunity for blue crab to flourish.

Baler Shell - Becomes a delicacy recently but traditionally use to bail water out of boats, and it underlines the common name of the mollusc.

Squid - best for grilling especially those comes with roe.
鱿鱼

Cuttlefish - one of the most intelligent invertebrates, it differs from squid with an internal shell (cuttlebone)
