SUSHI!

I make sushi regularly, but dont' tend to use fish from the supermarket; its not th at you can't eat it raw but it isn't as fresh as it should be. If you can get it from a fishmonger and ask for fish for sushi-making, they should give you the freshest - if the fish still needs to be gutted, go for it! Any fish/shellfish can be eaten raw, just depends on what you like.

Some Singaporean friends cooked this for me years ago and I'd like to recreate it (my friends have since moved back to Singapore and I haven't got contact details).

It involved baking cooked rice in a pineapple shell. It had little salty fish in it. It didn't have any other visible ingredients.

I think it might be a Thai dish.

Does anyone know what I mean and have a recipe?

I'd be very grateful!!

I used to get my ingredients from Sainsburys/Tescos etc., but they rarely have everything I am looking for.

So I now buy all my Thai food online at www.thai-food-online.co.uk

Their prices are quite reasonable and delivery is quick.

I have invited few friends round for a meal on Friday night, I am no whizz in the kitchen but dont mind trying things. Making a Thai Green Curry so would like a nice simple Thai dish as a starter, anyone got any suggestions that they have made, must be quite simple and not too time consuming, or alternatively I dont mind buying something, but not too expensive.
Any ideas???
Thanks

Had posted on another board until someone kind told me how to post on here as your a friendly bunch.

Hello ,

What about Thai fish cakes on a bed of salad leaves with some sweet chilli dipping sauce, I did this once for a starter and it was delish, You can get the fish cakes and the chilli sauce in Mr T, just heat the fish cakes and serve voila , of course you don't have to tell your guests that you bought the fish cakes

How about soup? There are recipes on this thread - Thai Food. I'll link this one to it later.

I'd also do a crab fishcake recipe served with chilli dipping sauce
