HIGHLIGHT: I couldn't eat this CRAB! / HB Seafood, Thailand

Ending clip from my trip to this beautiful and unique restaurant in the outskirts of Bangkok...

When I say "I couldn't", I mean it in both senses! I couldn't open this guy up, but also, and quite honestly, it wasn't my favorite. I wasn't gonna let a crab make this eating-session end up on a negative note. Also, it was cold. It didn't "get cold" I was COLD from the very beginning, kind of a turn-off for me.

From Mark Wiens Blog/Video: Hia Boon Seafood (ร้านเฮียบูรณ์ซีฟู้ด) is a 1 table Thai seafood restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. The family run restaurants is originally from Yala province in southern Thailand, but they lived for many years in Trat. Trat has some of the best seafood in Thailand, and when they moved to Bangkok, they wanted to bring top quality organic seafood to Bangkok. At first, the family just distributed seafood and did delivery, but their son Andaman, who is 20 years old, loved to cook. Customers were asking them to open just a single one table restaurant, and so they did. You have to book ahead and order ahead, but you can be guaranteed the seafood is fresh and top quality. It was a fun experience, and delicious seafood.

Dishes that I ordered:

Steamed fish, lime juice (ปลากะพงนึ่งมะนาว)
Shrimp salad (พล่ากุ้ง)
Barracuda, chili salt (ปลาน้ำดอกไม้ผัดพริกเกลือ)
Cuttlefish (หมึกหอมย่าง)
Grilled shrimp (กุ้งลายเสือเผา)
Pickled crab (ปูไข่ดอง)
Shrimp cakes (ทอดมันกุ้ง)
Total price - 4,880 Baht

...Pricy, but take into account that this is "Grade-A" shellfish sold *by weight*
