lox
Deli counter fish
Lox is salmon that has been cured in brine, traditionally served in thin slices on bagels with cream cheese: I'll have a bagel with lox and capers.
The word comes from Yiddish, and lox remains strongly associated with Jewish-American cuisine.
In a different context, lox is liquid oxygen, especially as used in rocket propulsion.
