Where it comes from

In Thailand a whole fish means abundance: it anchors weddings, new-year feasts and every homecoming dinner worth the drive. Pla tod rad prik is the beloved form — fried until the skin crackles, then lacquered in a sweet-hot chili glaze that finds every crevice. We give the honor to pompano, clean and silver-fleshed, a fish that loves the fryer. It arrives whole because that is the point: one fish, many hands, good fortune.
