One of my favorite ways to eat a whole fish is by grilling it the Thai way. On the streets of Thailand you'll find pla pao (ปลาเผา), or Thai grilled / roasted fish, all over the places. It's a common meal, and especially goes well with a plate of som tam (green papaya salad) and a couple of baskets of fresh sticky rice.
For this Thai grilled fish recipe (pla pao ปลาเผา), I made the two most common types of fish which you'll find on the streets of Thailand: a a red hybrid tilapia known in Thai as pla tabtim (ปลาทับทิม), and a snakehead fish known as a pla chon (ปลาช่อน). Both of them are common and widely found in Thailand, but most of the time, and especially when I make it myself, I overall prefer the pla tabtim. In the US when I went to the Asian supermarket, I also found both of these fish available, so hopefully you'll be able to find them wherever you are. You could also substitute this recipe for other types of firm whole fish.
If you buy your fish from the butcher, you should try to have them (or you can do it back at home) remove the gills and guts from the gills, and not cut open the belly - that way you can stuff the fish with the extra ingredients without everything falling out the bottom of the fish. Another tip for this recipe is that if you can keep the fish with the scales on, that's better for the grilling process. So keep the scales on
Along with the fish itself, one of the most important components of a Thai pla pao is the seafood sauce, which in Thai is known as nam jim seafood. The sauce is pretty simple to make, but it has so much incredible flavor from the garlic, chilies, and fish sauce.
For the fish
2 whole fish (also 1 fish works fine, just reduce ingredients)
½ kilo of salt (big grain if possible)
2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
About 1 tablespoon of water
4 - 6 stalks lemongrass
small handful of kaffir lime leaves
For the sauce seafood
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon of salt
15 cloves of garlic
20 Thai bird chilies (prik kee noo suan พริกขี้หนูสวน)
This Thai grilled fish street food recipe (pla pao ปลาเผา) should take about 15 or 20 minutes to get everything ready, and then it will need to be on the grill cooking for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how hot your fire is, and how big your fish are.
Enjoy this Thai street food recipe, and let me know how yours turns out!

Looks good Chef!
Yummmm!!!
Addictive Backpacking Thank you!
christine andrews Thanks Christine!
you should try Lab Pra chon . it's very delicious
I cooked this dish today along with the seafood sauce....delicious!
I live in Nebraska, no street food but at least we have Asian markets now. I love watching these videos. I catch fish but had grown tired of frying them. I have made Thai fish cakes (students put me on to them), they are delicious. Then I discovered this grilled fish. This is my favorite way to prepare fish now. Catfish seems to be the easiest fish go catch in the right size range but they are long, so I bought another grill just for preparing fish this way. The experience of eating fish this way was like the first time I tasted a Vietnamese rice paper spring roll, I felt like Popeye opening a can of spinach. In both cases it is the sauce that puts the experience over the top. Keep the videos coming, even though I don't get to eat street food at least I can track down how to make things that look good. To me Asian and other ethnic Markets are one thing that has improved life in Nebraska, now if they would just legalize street food in my city.
I have to admit...I was kinda skeptical about how much salt you put on there but in the end, it looks so amazing! Especially that garlic lime fish sauce. Drooling.
i hope you can go to Thailand and have best foods there :)
I've just made this dish with some local fish, and it was really delicious especially that sauce. Thank you for the recipe.
I tried this recipe but w a diff fish, called ikan susu in Malay. V fatty fish and tasted amazingggg! The sauce is soooo wow. Thanks mark!
Thank you so much for your work Mark! It's really inspiring and makes the world a better place each time I watch your videos!
I had this for the first time last December during a six day stay in Bangkok after spending 13 days in northern Laos. In Luang Prabang I had grilled tilapia stuffed with lemongrass but no salt crusting from a street vendor and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I arrived in Bangkok to visit with by brothers-in-law that were visiting there at the time, they took me a few doors down to their favorite sidewalk street food vendor. Among their standard nightly orders were the pla pao salt-crusted tilapia and the kor moo yang grilled pork neck meat. The pla pao was incredibly moist and tasty, though less smoky than the Lao grilled tilapia. The kor moo yang was also amazingly good, and for the rest of my stay in BKK, these two item were a constant menu pick when we at at that same Phaya Thai Road (near the Ratchadamri BTS station) sidewalk street food vendor stall, and also at the Ladmayom floating market. The bonus to the aforementioned sidewalk street food stall was there was also a vendor stall nearby selling fresh durian and mangosteen, which was our usual dessert.
Love this dude... You know he likes his food when he goes all Stevie Wonder after he takes a bite... lol... Keep doing your thing bro...

I'm so nervous about venturing into the realm of grilling a fish with the scales and heads still on them--but you make this look not-so-scary, Mark. Thanks for sharing...you may have helped me get over my fear of venturing into a new way of cooking fish! Love this!

This was one of my favorite dishes when I went to Thailand last month. It's so fresh and flavorful

Oh wow that looks so tasty. I gotta try that. Maybe a special occasion.
i had always been looking for that recipe and blime it's yummie, thanks for the tutorial..and i am most grateful for every recipe you share in english, other wise i would have been totally naive to Thai Cuisine...
I'm currently on vacation in pattaya and I am loving the food! I looked up spicy thai basil chicken and came across your page. Thanks so much, I'll leave here with more recipe ideas when I get home! !
I am really impressed on how the skin came off the fish mark. Those fish are huge. Looks so good.
Thanks Ange, with that salt crust it really separates the fish from the skin and leaves it so moist. Thanks for watching!
Always have this with sticky rice in Thailand, beautiful.
i first saw this kind of food in hualien taiwan, aboriginal site of night market, its really delicious, savory, and anything, complete
Loved grilled whole fish ..
Glad you love it too!
I am so going to try this... thanks mark!!!
Hey Nur, let me know how it goes!
we have that in philippines too.. and our sauce is soysauce, vinegar, onion and tomato finely chopped
1st, I love you videos! Just discovered my love of Thai food! I'm from small town USA. Some ingredients I have to order online. Keep up the cooking videos!!!
alot of these ingredients are really common in many asian countries so you can often find them in asian stores, international/foreign stores, and even in some major grocery chains (they have alot of these ingredients at my local walmart). Lemon grass and thai chilies (also called birds nest chilies) are both often in the produce section fresh but you can use powdered in a pinch, the powdered version of both are sold in most grocery stores in with the seasonings/spice section. He used a little different seafood but alot of Thai people cook this with Tilapia.
hi.. first of all congratulations to you and Ying for having a baby.. I watch all your videos and they are seriously so good.. can u pls upload the recipe for Thai seafood dipping sauce. I know you have it on your website but it would be so nice if you post a video recipe for it..
Didn't knew you used to cook too!! Great! Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
Omg, I love the faces you make when you taste the food. It's like you transcend for a moment, lol.
Look extremely delicious 🤤
Thank you, Mark
Omg.. Love your videos !
Watched them all in one day :)
Thank a lot for watching, glad you like them!
Souvenirs souvenirs… Thanks Mark !
Glad you enjoyed it Ivan, thanks!
Hi Mark, try using palm sugar in the sauce instead of cane sugar, it will round the taste better !!
Cane sugar is rather new to Thai culture, most of the sauce originally used palm sugar.
Try it and you'll see the difference.
I love your recipe
Look very nice and tasty.. You are very good cook.
Deff need to try this!
Thank you so so much Mark. I'v been looking for how to grill that fish from Thailand so long. :-P My fav Thai street food....
Wonderful recipe ! indeed one of the best way to make fish, I made this in the oven using the grill. Of course not as great that a bbq, but more accessible ! Thanks a lot !
Until today his facial expression for the first bite is still the same. Haha . Love all ur videos mark!
Looks great Mark!
Thanks!
Looks beautiful delicious
Great video thanks for sharing beautiful with delicious fish and vegetables👍😍
Thank you Mark! I was looking for this recipe.

Mark's USP: the expression on his face...as the food goes down!!:):)

Mark Wiens :):):)
It did make my mouth water lol. Keep the amazing video's coming bro.
I love your videos man. Keep up the good work.
Two thumbs up to you sir Mark.
Thank you Sepertik!
cant wait to try this
That looks delicious mark and TY for sharing. I was surprised you grilled it indoors. No problems with the smoke?
Thank you! Though it looks indoors, it's actually outside on a patio, there is a roof about 1/2 way over it, but where the grill was, it's open air.
Omg I loooove this video sooo muchh!!! I'm drooling ohno! Will try making this one day! Keep up the good work! ❤️❤️❤️
I love thai food so much 😍😍😍
That sauce is so versatile...the more garlic the better for me and i dont water it down. Its great for chicken and steak. Its the only way i eat my steak. Forget the A1sauce( Yuck)! This sauce is 10x better with steak plus if you eat it with some sticky rice and crunchy greens
These cooking videos are pretty awesome by the way, hope you do more.
Such a great video, i spend 1 month in Thailand again and i ate so much great seafood, especially on Koh Lanta :D Regards from Germany Matze Aloi mak mak
Good to hear from you, glad you ate a lot of seafood when you were in Thailand!

Mark, an awesome recipe. Definitely going to try this with eel when the weather is good in England.
Hey Wasqas, thanks for watching. Great, let me know how it turns out!
Hi mark I just had this fish at Radchada nightmkt Bkk & Just fell in love with it. I was dying to know the green sauce ,thanks for sharing. Love you for it.
After the first bite I was like, that must be an 'oh man' bite, I was right, nice one mark!
Haha, thanks Robert!
hahaha at the beginning of your videos i really have to say that i hated you for your mimics. But after a while i realized you are really deep in the love with thai food. I also love thai food really much and exactly the same way like you love it. I also love these explosions of different flavours and all Isaan food. In my opinion youre grilled pla pao looks amazing! Dont stop with your videos. in my opinion they are really professional and show people the real, authentic side of Thailand. youre doing a really great job! Respect Marc!
I thought grilling fish would be dry but this looks so moist!
Yes, that salt coating really keeps the fish moist!
