What is the real name of 'ikan tutu'?!


Question:

What is the real name of 'ikan tutu'?

its a type of fish
sometimes are called ikan hantu or in chinese 'soon hock'


Answers:
A bit of the Malay name went missing in your question: it's 'ikan ketutu':

Genus Oxyeleotris
Species Oxyeleotris marmorata

Marbled Goby, Soon Hock or Ikan Ketutu
(It is also known as belantok, ikan kayu, ikan ubi or ikan haruan bodoh.)

It appears to be highly prized -- and highly priced! -- as a culinary species in Singapore.

Hope this helps.
