Dealfish

/ˈdiːlfɪʃ/ noun

Definition

A large, deep-sea fish (genus Trachipterus) with a long, ribbon-like body and fins running along its back.

Etymology

From Old Norse deilill, related to 'deal' (a type of plank), because of the fish's long, flat, plank-like body. The name describes the fish's shape rather than its behavior.

Kelly Says

Dealfish are so flat and ribbon-like that sailors used to mistake them for sea monsters or serpents—they can grow up to 9 feet long but are only a few inches wide, like a long ribbon swimming through the deep ocean.
