A freshwater fish with a thick body, also called a club or cyprinid fish found in European rivers.
From Middle English chubbe, possibly from Old English ceafl (jaw), referring to the fish's prominent head structure.
The chubb is a surprisingly aggressive fish for its size—medieval fishermen respected them as challenging catches, and their name may derive from 'chubby,' though ironically the word order suggests they were named first, and then applied to people.
