A cold-water fish of the salmon family, found in northern regions and known for its colorful spots and fine flavor.
From Middle English charre, possibly from Old Norse or Celtic roots. The exact origin is uncertain, but it appears in European languages with similar forms. The fish became especially notable in Scandinavian and Alpine regions where it thrives in cold lakes.
Arctic charr can survive in some of the coldest freshwater environments on Earth, and they're also one of the few fish species that can live in both the ocean and freshwater—some populations are landlocked while others migrate to the sea and come back, all from the same species!
