Seafood

Indonesia is the world's 16th-largest country in terms of land area with 1,919,440 square kilometers (741,050 sq mi). Yet, actually it's not all because compare to the land, Indonesia has more seas. Comparison is 1:3, which it brings the country with huge seafood products. Some certain islands like Sulawesi or Maluku where well-known as islands with great seaman/fisherman, they are good in fishing, and seafood is like their main specialty. They have special meals made from different kind of seafood, especially fish. Therefore, seafood is very popular across the country. It's not difficult to find.
