Interesting place, good selection of seafood, came here for dinner several times. Don't be afraid to haggle with sellers, you can easily knock 10% off the final price (just print your price on their calculator, based on the price offered by the seller). Near the market there are many taverns and cafes that prepare purchased seafood; the price for cooking is approximately the same everywhere (100 badds per 1 kilogram). On average, a lunch or dinner with seafood and beer will cost 300 BD per person, it all depends on the amount of seafood you buy. Near the market you can visit a long pier going into the sea and excellent shops with a large selection of processed shells and sea souvenirs. You can also get to the village by bus for 100 BD per person (there is an air conditioner), the bus runs on schedule, the latest one leaves the village for the Airport (passes Kata, Karon) at 19.30, it is better to check the current schedule at the bus stop, from the market to the stops take about 10-15 minutes.

We visited Rawai Seafood Market twice—our first visit was shortly after lockdown, and the second on November 22nd. The first time, the market was quiet and very accommodating. We bought fresh fish and had it cooked at a nearby restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious—a truly memorable experience! On our second visit, the vibe was livelier. We started at the fruit stalls, enjoying freshly squeezed orange, mango, and pomegranate juices—an amazing way to begin the adventure. The seafood sellers were polite and lovely to chat with, although prices were noticeably higher than before (understandable given the global rise in living costs). The restaurant we chose was clean, and the food was cooked wonderfully. Afterward, we explored the area near the docks. The little beach had charm but needed some TLC, and the strong smell of sewage was a downside. Overall, I would return and would definitely try the lobster and prawns next time!

We went to this place after reading some reviews, we were not disappointed! So heres our advice. You'll find this gem in a market area on the left of the big jetty. If you have a scooter you can ride to the resturant and they will let you park there providing you plan to eat there. You'll find the resturant about 50mts down on the left. Reserve a table and head a further 15mrs down to the seafood market sellers. Prices are cheap! 1kg snapper 350bt, lobster, prawns, scallops all so cheap! Take everything back to the resturant and they will happily cook it for you for 100bt per kg. They offer great cooking suggestions so take their advice. The chilli way was our favorite! Seafood can sometimes be a little risky in Thailand, however at this place is not. Most of what you buy is still kicking, if it's dead then it's packed on ice. You can't find freasher than this. Enjoy........ 😊

We had a good impression of the Rawai Seafood Market on our first visit; the seafood was fresh and the sellers were friendly; we decided to go there again on the last day of our trip to Phuket. But after meeting the seller in the photo, our previous good impression was ruined. He was very enthusiastic to help us choose seafood at first. When we finished choosing the seafood, he gave us a price of more than 3,700 baht. I was shocked, It was almost twice as expensive as what we bought first time (for similar seafood)! He immediately discounted it to 2,200 baht, which was still more expensive than the 1,900 baht I bought last time. I tried to get him to make it cheaper, but he rudely threw the selected seafood back into the basin, The water inside splashed directly on us!🙁😟

We chose Khun Mai Seafood Rawai as the restaurant to cook our seafood. They cooked the seafood that we bought across the street. The lady who sold us the seafood recommended this place to do the cooking. What a big friggin mistake! You would think that they might offer multiple cooking styles and/or flavors. Nope! Your cooking options are: grilled, grilled, grilled, or raw. Your flavor options are as follows: plain, garlic hunks, or garlic butter. The food actually tasted somewhat decent.. once you get past all the garlic, which is probably there to cover the odor and taste of bad or old seafood. Overall, it was not a great experience. The next time that we want seafood, we will go to Patong Night Market which is actually much bigger than Rawai's.

One of the best shop-and-eat fish markets in Thailand. Go early in the evening, the fish mongers and salesmen are set up on one side of the road, and on the other side you have a slew of restaurants. You'll find everything from whole bass, to mantis shrimp, cockles, oysters, Thai Lobster (sweeter than the North American variety), and razor clams. The best strategy is to befriend one of the fisherman and haggle, buy a bunch of items, and carry it to the restaurant. They charge 100-150 baht per KG to cook it the way you like (you can refer to the thick manuals for dish inspiration). The shrimps are really the highlight, as they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can eat very very well for $10-20 US per person.
