Fresh seafood stall in Bangkok
Cockles are one of the most popular seafood dishes among locals, so it’s no question that Jeh Pa has been a crowd favourite for almost 4 decades. This family business is located near Wongwian Yai BTS and sells both raw and cooked cockles.

One of the store owners opening the cockles like an expert
For those of you who are hesitant to down raw seafood, warm yourselves up with a plate of boiled cockles. Through the boiling process, the cockles soften up and become easier to chew.
Everything comes with a side of 3 delicious dipping sauces: Spicy seafood sauce, Sweet plum sauce, and a mixed sauce for those who want a little bit of both.
Our favourite sauce was the spicy seafood sauce, which is made from a combination of blended chilli, lime juice, fish sauce, and seasoning. But if heat is not your thing, go for the plum sauce instead.
Next up, we gave their raw cockles a go. The texture is chewier and definitely has a “fishier” taste, but it wasn’t off-putting.
Once you’re done downing it all, the stall offers each table a bucket of water to clean up after your meal.

We had a very good experience at Jeh Pa. Besides a warm welcome from the staff, our meal was satisfying and value-for-money too.
So whether you’re a seafood fan or would like to try cockles for the first time, head over to Jeh Pa in the Wongwian Yai neighbourhood when in Bangkok.
