Mengoca Ikan

What is “Mengoca”?

Mengoca is a word in the Negeri Sembilan dialect that refers to the act of catching fish using bare hands. In Selangor, especially in the Sekincan and Sungai Besar areas, it is referred to as “mengagau”. However, it is slightly different from the northern dialect term which prefers to use the term “mining” for fishing activities in rice fields or wells..
