Indonesia has many catfish dishes, which are popular local snacks and very cheap. I've tried fried catfish (Lele Goreng) and spicy stewed catfish, but the catfish were small with little meat. They tasted pretty good, though.

Catfish (commonly known as "Lele" in Indonesia and Malaysia) belongs to the genus Clarias, particularly species like Clarias gariepinus or Clarias batrachus. It is a freshwater fish characterized by its scaleless, slippery body, flattened head, and four pairs of long barbels (whiskers) around the mouth. Typically dark gray to black with mottled patterns, catfish are famously resilient—they possess a suprabranchial arborescent organ that allows them to breathe air and survive in low-oxygen water or even out of water for hours.
In Indonesia, "lele" is one of the most popular and affordable food fish. Thanks to its fast growth and hardy nature, it is intensively farmed and sold everywhere from street vendors to restaurants. Classic preparations include deep-fried catfish served with sambal (pecel lele), grilled over charcoal (lele bakar), or cooked in spicy coconut milk curry (mangut lele). The flesh is tender yet firm with a mild, sweet fresh-water flavor, making it a beloved everyday protein across Indonesia.
