1 Davidson, A Fish and Fish Dishes of Laos. New Edition
New 
(1973) 2003. 22cm. Pp.206. 70 figures. Slick paperback. Illustrated, descriptive, catalogue of the fishes with local names (pp.15-100), cookery (pp.101-178), appendix & bibliography. The critical thing to remember about the fish dishes of Laos is that the country is landlocked and that all the fish live in the Mekong river and its tributaries. That great stream runs from China in the north to the Falls of Khong to the south. It forms the border between Laos and Burma (Myanmar), and Laos and Thailand. The fish themselves are of great interest: none less than the giant catfish of the Mekong, weighing in at up to 200 lbs; or the climbing perch which naturalists have found wandering the highways of South-East Asia in search of fresh waters. The catalogue is of great use to those visiting the market of Laos, Thailand or Vietnam; the recipes are excellent for experiments here in Europe. As many more tropical fish are being imported to the West, it is possible to replicate these dishes with a fair degree of accuracy. The author, a career diplomat, was, in his final appointment, British Ambassador to Laos.
