    Market price for plar Nin in Thailand

    Hi Members.

    I'm trying to gather information about the market price per kilo for plar Nin in Thailand, so next time you or your Missus goes to the market, could you then please check the price for "live" plar Nin size 700grams and up, I would really appreciate it.

    I can definitely do this for you...I frequent about 3 different markets for product in my shop. However, embarrassingly enough, I'm a 1/2 Thai chef and I don't know what "plar nin" is. Let me know, I'll take a look for you next time I'm out.

    ^ Thanks, no worries Plar Nin is called Tilapia in English, it's the fish with spikes on the back-fin, and has a green/black color. Hope this help, if not then I post a picture..

    Just for you Dalts I will make a special trip down to the market, but I get a special discount because I regularly service a couple of the old fish lady bints down there, so do you want discount or normal price?

    The normal price would be nice, since I have no intentions about sucking on a old warn-out fanny...

    Anyway, back to the OP, the wife's sister tells me 60-65 baht for the good sized fish.... or 40-45 for the smaller ones. It depends on the quality they say. Not sure if that is live or not.

    Korat yes, i'd imagine at the Sung Noen market. Sister in Law lives about 10km South of there.

    I went to Wing Yip today Dalts, they had Talipia so i checked how much.

    frozen fillets were £4.25/kg
    frozen whole red £2.70/kg
    frozen whole black £2.55/kg
    wet fish on ice (black) £6.90
    live (tank empty) £11.99/kg

    Not much good to you but i thought i'd tell you anyway.
