ปลาเผาเส้น

Origin

Pla Yang Sen is a traditional dish from southern Thailand, particularly popular in Phuket and Krabi provinces. It has a long history dating back to when fishermen used bamboo skewers to grill fresh fish as a method of preservation and flavor enhancement. This culinary tradition has become a distinctive feature of coastal communities.

Characteristics and Flavor

Pla Yang Sen features fresh fish such as mackerel or snapper, cut into small pieces and threaded onto bamboo sticks before being grilled slowly over low heat until fragrant and perfectly cooked. The fish develops an attractive grilled appearance with a savory, tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet taste from the dipping sauce, complemented by the aromatic scents of kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass.

Ingredients

Fresh fish (such as mackerel or snapper), bamboo skewers, fish sauce, lime juice, granulated sugar, chili powder, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, red onion

How to Eat

Serve immediately after grilling alongside steamed hot rice and a tangy-spicy dipping sauce to fully enjoy the rich aroma of the grilled fish and the subtle fragrance of the bamboo.
