Description
Lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) is a North Atlantic fish whose eggs are commonly referred to as "the caviar of the north." This product tends to be less expensive than classic caviar. The fish themselves are harvested commercially as well, mostly for Nordic markets. Males of this species change color to orange-red during the breeding season.
