Barfish

/ˈbɑːrfɪʃ/ noun

A fish found in bars or taverns, though this is primarily a humorous or archaic term with no standard zoological meaning.

Compound of 'bar' (from Old High German 'barra' meaning barrier or counter) and 'fish' (from Proto-Germanic 'fiskaz'). This is a folk or jocular formation rather than a scientific term.
