Sea Bass Porridge and Sea Bass Rice Soup at the Riverside Law Office in Front of Surat Thani Market

If you visit Surat Thani, a city that is not just the gateway to Southern Thailand's seas but also a true hub of authentic local flavors, I, mr.hotsia, want to introduce you to one of the best sea bass porridge spots in town — the Sea Bass Porridge and Rice Soup shop by the river in front of Surat Thani Market, a must-stop for anyone passing by.

The uniqueness of this place is not only in the smooth, tender porridge or the fresh sea bass rice soup but also in the atmosphere by the Tapi River, the lifeblood of Surat Thani locals. The shop is located in an old, simple law office building filled with a classic charm. At first, I didn’t expect to find such a great eatery in this spot, but after trying it, I can say the deliciousness exceeded all expectations.

When I visited early in the morning, Surat Thani Market was starting to buzz. The porridge shop was brightly lit, with many local customers dining leisurely. The chef uses fresh sea bass from the nearby Surat Thani morning market, where I had the chance to stroll and buy fresh ingredients beforehand (Fresh Seafood at Surat Thani Morning Market)

The highlight of the sea bass porridge here is the large, fresh, firm, and bouncy fish pieces with no fishy smell at all. The fish is carefully cooked with rice to achieve a smooth, flavorful rice soup. The broth is clear but deeply savory. I, mr.hotsia, enjoyed sipping hot porridge while watching the gentle flow of the Tapi River outside the shop. It’s a peaceful and warm feeling rarely found in big cities.

Besides sea bass porridge, the shop also offers sea bass rice soup fragrant with local herbs, paired perfectly with just-right soft rice, providing a great start to the day. I recommend ordering it with fresh vegetables and chili vinegar condiments prepared by the shop to enhance the flavor and freshness.

For tourists visiting Surat Thani, experiencing this kind of breakfast is like tasting the real life of locals. If you enjoy morning markets and fresh seafood, don’t forget to visit the morning market by the Tapi River and follow my footsteps, mr.hotsia, to try the sea bass porridge here. I guarantee you’ll love it as much as I do.

Getting to this sea bass porridge shop is easy as it’s located not far from Surat Thani city center market and the Tapi River, a convenient spot for car or motorcycle travel. There’s also a lively fresh market atmosphere and many more food stalls to explore after your porridge meal.

Finally, I, mr.hotsia, want to say that the deliciousness of the sea bass porridge here is not just in the bowl but in the feeling of sitting down to eat slowly, observing the changing riverside life each day. It’s a small corner that made me feel like I truly touched the heart of Surat Thani.
