Ton Nam Restaurant

English name for this restaurant is Ton Nam Riverview. They are known for their fresh Giant River Prawns. My Thai speaking friend called ahead to reserve 4 of the large shrimps for us 2 days prior. I think the big ones (0.5 kg) have more shrimp butter/ tomalley in the head which we love! According to my friend if you don't call ahead you end up having to pick whatever is leftover at the restaurant, if any. The shrimp is grilled over charcoal. They are expensive at 1000 baht/ $30 USD EACH prawn. But man they were so good. I liked the seafood sauce. We ordered rice on the side. I took out all the shrimp butter and put that on the rice then picked out all the tail meat and and remaining meat in the body around the leg knucklesaand put on the rice, spooned the seafood sauce on that and went to town. It was not a pretty site but oh so good! We also ordered a fried blue fish, som tom/ papaya salad with chicken wings, and another fish with basil and peppercorns. Everything was great. Food came out fast. Restrooms are western and clean.
