Our Story
It all started with smoke and fire.
The name “Dirty Fish” isn’t just catchy; it’s the heart of our menu. It comes from our signature Salt-Grilled Sea Bass, prepared using the traditional Thai method of grilling over open charcoal. This technique creates a rustic, perfectly charred crust that locks in the smoky, succulent flavors of the fresh catch. It’s authentic, it’s real, and it represents the soul of our cooking.
Dirty Fish Beach Bistro was born from a desire to share this authenticity. Nestled on the stunning shores of Lanta Island, we wanted to create a space that celebrates the ocean’s bounty and the richness of Thai cuisine.
But we are more than just great seafood. We are a place of connection. Inspired by the warmth of Lanta’s hospitality, we believe that good food brings people together, and everyone deserves a seat at the table. We are proudly LGBTIQA+ friendly and welcome guests of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life with open arms. Our restaurant is a safe, inclusive space where you can truly be yourself.
Whether you’re here for a romantic sunset dinner or a celebration with friends, we invite you to be part of our story. Come sit by the sea and experience the magic of island life with us.
