What are some must-try seafood dishes when visiting Phuket?

When in Phuket, you absolutely can't miss trying the Tom Yum Goong, a spicy and sour shrimp soup that's bursting with flavor.

• Another local favorite is Pla Lard Prik, which features fried fish topped with a spicy chili sauce. It's a great way to enjoy the fresh catch of the day.

• And don't forget about the grilled seafood platters, which often include prawns, squid, and fish cooked right in front of you on the beach. Perfect for sharing!

Opening days, menus and prices change, especially in quieter months. Check recent information, confirm dietary requirements directly and use busy, well-kept stalls or restaurants where food is cooked and stored properly.
