Fish and Fish Dishes of Laos

This is Alan Davidson's study of the fish cookery of Laos. There is also much information on cooking materials and ingredients. The critical thing to remember about the fish dishes of Laos is that there is no seaside and that all the fish live in the Mekong river and its tributaries. That great stream runs from China in the north to the Falls of Khong to the south. It forms the border between Laos and Bhurma (Myanmar), and Laos and Thailand.
