Seafood by the mangrove on Phuket East Coast
Tasak Seafood is a modest but excellent local restaurant serving inexpensive seafood in a beautiful seaside location in Paklok. Paklok is a region on the east coast of Phuket that very few people take the time to explore unless they visit the Bang Pae Waterfall or play golf at Mission Hill. The restaurant is hard to find but rewarding, it feels like having lunch at the terrace of someoneโs house, which is actually the case. The owner and his wife are very friendly and can help recommend the best dish of the day.
The view from the restaurant terrace is quite unique, and while most travellers associate seaside dining in Phuket with white sandy beaches, sitting by the mangrove feels a lot more authentic. Small fishing boats come in and out, and local kids play happily in the mangrove in front of the restaurant.
What we ordered
Thai food is always better when enjoyed as a group of friends or family, as dishes are placed in the centre of the table and shared, but we were only 2 people on that day, so our selection was rather small. The portions are generous, and the price of each dish is really low. Note that Tasak Seafood does not serve alcohol.
