A freshwater fish with a long body, whiskers on its chin, and a barbel on its lower lip, related to the cod family.
From Middle French barbotte, from the Latin barba meaning beard, referring to the fish's distinctive barbels or whisker-like sensory organs.
The burbot is the only freshwater gadiform (cod-like fish) in the Northern Hemisphere, and it's so cold-hardy that it spawns under ice in winter.
