Palembang Cuisine
Palembangese cuisine is the cuisine of the Palembangese people of the city of Palembang in the South Sumatra province of Indonesia. It is the second most well-known cuisine from Sumatra after Padang. Ingredients Palembang cuisine primarily uses freshwater fish and prawns as key ingredients due to the paramount role of the Musi River for the area. Popular freshwater fish includes ''patin'' (''Pangasius''), ''baung'' (''Hemibagrus''), ''lais'' (''Kryptopterus cryptopterus''), ''lele'' (catfish), ''gabus'' ( snakehead), ''mas'' ( carp) and ''gurame'' (gourami). Historically, Palembang waters were teeming with ''belido'' ( giant featherback), and it has become the city's official animal mascot. It is valued for its succulent flavour and soft texture. However, due to overfishing, today the ''belido'' fish are scarce and probably already extinct in Musi river area. Because of its location that is not far from the sea, seafood such as shrimp, ''tenggiri'' (wahoo), ''kakap merah'' ...

Fish Dishes
Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Approximately 95% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with around 99% of those being teleosts. The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period. Although they lacked a true spine, they possessed notochords which allowed them to be more agile than their invertebrate counterparts. Fish would continue to evolve through the Paleozoic era, diversifying into a wide variety of forms. Many fish of the Paleozoic developed external armor that protected them from predators. The first fish with jaws appeared in the Silurian period, after which many (such as sharks) became formidable marine predators rather than just the prey of arthropods. Most f ...
