As Food
In Thailand this fish is known as Pla Duk Dan (Thai: ปลาดุกด้าน). It is a common inexpensive food item, prepared in a variety of ways, being often offered by street vendors, especially barbecued or fried.
In Coastal Karnataka (India), it is called Mugudu (Tulu: ಮುಗುಡು) and is considered a delicacy.

Famous quotes containing the word food:
“At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“There is no instant of time when one creature is not being devoured by another. Over all these numerous races of animals man is placed, and his destructive hand spares nothing that lives. He kills to obtain food and he kills to clothe himself; he kills to adorn himself; he kills in order to attack and he kills to defend himself; he kills to instruct himself and he kills to amuse himself; he kills to kill. Proud and terrible king, he wants everything and nothing resists him.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
