The best things in life are free, but not here. Gambling rules!.. And it can be anything from roosters or cards to fish. Tackle shop owner, Preecher, shows his mates some stiff and dangerous competition. The rage is all lures, trawling behind an 8-cylinder canoe and landing meter long, angry barracuda and African Pompano. It's all bravado and glory but who cares when it ends up as Tom Yum Prad, (fish soup) bubbling with lemongrass and chilies. Away from the big money, Gotlam hangs out in a stilt kitchen where you can check the tide underneath you. He chases Mengdas, or Horseshoe crabs which resemble squashed armadillo. You only eat their eggs as the Mengda itself is poisonous if cooked incorrectly… and they taste like they look!
