Easy

Nam jim seafood is the sharp, salty, hot, sour sauce that makes Thai grilled fish taste finished. The fish can be sea bass, snapper, or another firm whole fish — the sauce does the talking.

Serve with sticky rice or jasmine rice, then compare grill rooms when you travel using our restaurant checklist.

الطريقة

  1. 1

    Prepare the fish

    Pat the fish dry. Score each side 3 times. Rub with oil and salt. Rest 10 minutes while you heat the grill.

  2. 2

    Make nam jim

    Pound garlic, chillies, coriander stems, and sugar to a paste. Stir in fish sauce and lime. Taste: it should be hot, sour, salty, and barely sweet.

  3. 3

    Grill

    Grill over hot coals or a grill pan until the skin is charred and the flesh near the bone is just opaque, about 8–12 minutes per side depending on thickness. Rest 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon nam jim over the fish or serve alongside. Add cucumber and herbs. Eat immediately.

نصائح الشيف

  • A fish basket makes flipping whole fish easier.
  • If you cannot grill, broil on a hot rack and finish with the same sauce.
  • Do not cook the nam jim — it is a raw dressing.

أسئلة شائعة — Thai Nam Jim Grilled Fish (Chili-Lime Sauce)

What fish should I use?+

Any fresh whole firm fish: sea bass, snapper, or barramundi. Avoid fragile thin fillets that fall through the grate.

How spicy is nam jim?+

As spicy as you make it. Start with fewer bird’s eye chillies; you can always add more. Lime and fish sauce should still be loud.
