Halucket

/ˈhæləkɪt/ noun

Definition

A small herring or sprat, a type of small fish used for food.

Etymology

From Old Norse 'háleikin' (small halibut or fish), related to 'hálr' (halibut). This is a rare dialectal or regional term.

Kelly Says

Fish names are fossils of local languages—'halucket' preserves Old Norse vocabulary from centuries of trade with Scandinavian fishermen. Every fishing village had unique words for local catches.
