Pronunciado como (IPA)
/ˈzeːlaks/
Etimologia (Inglês)
From See (“sea”) + Lachs (“salmon”). So called because it was used as a substitute for salmon in the production of smoked salmon (“lox”) in the first half of the 20th century. This use is no longer common, but the name has been kept for marketing reasons.
