About this audio guide
This guide to Bang Por Seafood in Koh Samui follows Ta Koe, a former lawyer turned restaurant founder, and the realization that reshaped his beachfront kitchen: every Thai province seemed to have its own local cuisine except this island. It traces how he began serving what fishermen and tide-pool foragers actually pulled from the reef, sea urchins included, instead of food borrowed from Bangkok. You will hear about the biology behind the restaurant's signature roe dish and the other tide-pool recipes still on the menu today.
