Phuket’s Freshest Seafood
Kan Eang has been recognized for its fresh signature seafood since 1973. It is famous for its freshest seafood as the restaurant acquires our seafood straight from local fishermen who catch them fresh. It is a go-to place for both locals and foreign seafood lovers who want to try the finest seafood and authentic Thai cuisine.
Meal with a Legendary story
Once you go to Kan Eang, there is one dish you shouldn’t miss to try. That is Grilled Jack Fish which has a great story behind it. 50 years ago, Kan Eang opened a little thatched-roof restaurant near the entrance route to Chalong Pier. Nearby fishermen used to sell their freshly caught fish to the shop. Then, the restaurant grilled the fresh fish and sold it to the visitors. Later, Kan Eang’s grilled Jack Fish became famous all around the Chalong. It was the beginning of the Kan Eang restaurant today.
Pla Mong or Jack Fish is a sea fish which has a firm texture and natural sweet taste. The technique is to gently grill it with coconut husk adding a smoky flavor to the fish, allowing the fish to slowly cook, and maintaining juicy texture inside. Our grilled fish has a naturally sweet flavor and served with tamarind sauce. Kan Eang handed its signature recipes and legacy through generations and is now 51 years of age, and it is still a place winning both local and visitors’ hearts.
Customer’s favorite signature dishes
Kan Eang’s original signature dish, which is also the favorite of the customer, is “Bua Tod,” a batter-fried freshwater weed with shrimp. Freshwater weed is the major component of this cuisine. They are rare plants that grow in streams that pure water running through them.
We combined it with flour, cooked fresh shrimp, and served it with the restaurant’s secret sauce which has a sweet and sour flavor. The crunchy texture is the first impression you will get as soon as you bite the Bua Tod. You will taste the sweetness of the fresh shrimp when you chew. Kan Eang’s secret sauce adds the perfect match to the taste which makes it a must-try meal that you should not miss.
If you would like to try the next Kan Eang signature, try “Hor Mok” which is a steamed curry fish mousse wrapped in a banana leaf parcel. It is prepared from fresh mackerel mixed with southern curry paste and the first pressed premium coconut milk which is freshly steamed daily. Hor Mok is juicy and soft in texture and has rich and fresh flavors. It is better to eat as an appetizer or you can pair it with steamed rice too. Whoever tried the Hor Mok will never forget its flavor and experience.
Beyond Thai Taste
With the dedication to serving the freshest fish, the kitchen has included Japanese cuisines such as sashimi, sushi, and teppanyaki. Later, the restaurant also introduced the European-style preparation of seafood and meat dishes. Tiger prawn sashimi at Kan Eang at Pier is a must-try dish for all sashimi lovers. You will taste the freshness of the tiger prawn which is directly sourced from the Andaman Sea. Lobster baked in garlic butter is another standout signature dish at the restaurant that you should not miss.
We also developed Kan Eang’s style hot pot and smoked shrimp salad with lemongrass as the highlights of our Thai Dishes. When you go to Kan Eang and look for recommended soup, Kan Eang’s style of spicy chicken soup will be a great choice for you. The texture of spicy chicken is easy to chew and it will even melt in your mouth. If you are feeling lost your appetite, just try spicy chicken soup. This soup will stimulate your appetite. Another unique aspect of Kan Eang is that you can enjoy the seafood with different cooking methods allowing you to select meals based on your tastes.
