EN: catfish
The fish, not the person pretending to be someone else online (though the 'whiskers' kinda look like a fake mustache, lol). This is the slippery, whiskered fish you often find grilled or fried in dampa-style restaurants. A staple in many provincial cuisines.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *hitu.
Refers to the freshwater fish *Clarias batrachus*.
