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:
“It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.”
—Francis De Sales, Saint (1567–1622)
