A regional British dialect name for the lumpfish or lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus), a stumpy, disc-footed fish found in North Atlantic coastal waters. Its adhesive pelvic disc allows it to cling to rocks. The roe is often sold as an inexpensive alternative to caviar. The colourful dialect name reflects the fish's comical, paddle-like appearance.
