Lumpfish is a fish that lives near the shore in the cold ocean waters of northern regions. Its body and head are thick and short. The lumpfish has wartlike tubercles (lumps) instead of scales. Fins on the underside of the body are joined to form a sucking disk that enables the fish to cling to rocks. The underside of a male lumpfish is reddish in color. People eat the eggs of lumpfish as caviar.
