Krabi Seafood at a Glance (Highly Recommended)

It is easy to find seafood restaurant in Krabi.  There are many restaurants in the areas of Saladan and Ao Nang with the ubiquitous snapper and jumbo prawns (usually from a farm) laid out on ice. However, if you are a seafood addicts, dedicated fish restaurants that have both a wide range of produce and a turnover high enough to guarantee prime freshness, are few and far between. There are few but does not mean Krabi does not have.
