Zab Mike Pon Pla Freeze Fish 18g

Zab Mike Pon Pla Freeze Fish 18g

Zab Mike Pon Pla (แซ่บไมค์ ปลาป่น, pronounced sâep mâik bplaa bpòn) is a freeze-dried fish powder seasoning from the Zab Mike brand. Pon Pla (ปลาป่น) is a dried and ground fish powder that is a foundational seasoning in northeastern Thai (Isan) cuisine — used to add a deep, smoky, umami-rich fish flavour to dishes without the texture of whole dried fish. It is distinct from fish sauce (Nam Pla) or fermented fish sauce (Nam Pla Ra) in that it is a dry powder applied as a seasoning or topping rather than a liquid condiment. The freeze-dried process concentrates the flavour while preserving freshness. Zab Mike’s version carries the brand’s characteristic bold, spicy profile. The 18g pack is a compact, single-use or small-batch seasoning size.
