Thai Food and Seafood Pairings to Try

The Art of Pairing Thai Food with Seafood

Thai cuisine and fresh seafood were made for each other. The bright acidity of lime, the warmth of lemongrass and the depth of fish sauce all heighten the natural flavour of the sea. Here are the pairings we love most.

Classic Pairings

Grilled Tiger Prawns + Tom Yum Soup

Start with a bowl of Tom Yum while the prawns are grilling — the soup opens the palate perfectly for the smoky sweetness of the grilled shellfish.

Steamed Mud Crab + Crab Fried Rice

Order the steamed crab for the pure experience, then use the leftover crab shells and juices to flavour the fried rice. This is a classic Thai technique.

Whole Grilled Sea Bass + Green Papaya Salad

The clean, herby flavour of grilled sea bass paired with the bright, crunchy som tam is one of the most refreshing combinations in Thai cooking. Both are light and vibrant.

Lobster Thermidor + Lychee Martini

For a more indulgent evening, the richness of lobster with cream sauce pairs beautifully with the sweet, floral lightness of a lychee martini.

Sharing is the Thai Way

Thai meals are designed to be shared. Order several dishes and place them in the centre of the table — each person tries everything. It is a more social and more interesting way to eat.
