Pecel lele or pecak lele is an Indonesian deep-fried Clarias catfish dish originating from Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia. It consists of catfish served with traditional sambal chili paste, often accompanied by fried tempeh and/or tofu, fresh raw vegetables (lalapan), and steamed rice.
Although it shares the word pecel with another Javanese dish, pecel (a vegetable salad in peanut sauce), pecel lele is unrelated to that preparation. Pecel lele is served with sambal terasi (ground chili with shrimp paste), though some regional recipes incorporate small amounts of ground peanuts into the sambal.
