Pindang Patin ( Spicy and Sour Silver CatFish)

Patin fish (Silver Catfish) is a kind of freshwater fish that lives in river. It has a unique shape. Patin lives at the bottom of the river and starts hunting food during night.

Patin habitat is found in Riau Province, Indonesia. According to the local community, the fish used to be found only at The Indragiri River, River Siak, Sungai Kampar and Rokan River.

Patins that are fished from these rivers have a unique and distinctive aroma. In addition, fish from these rivers usually have longer and heavier sizes. In the era of 1970s to 1980s, the Riau people still see the patin fish length up to one meter more. Now, the original patin fish from the river is rarely found.
