Isn't Fish a Serrano type?

There might, of course, be more than one chile called Fish. But if it's the one in the link, I doubt anybody would describe it as a long type; serranos are only a couple of inches long.

You might also want to look at one we've been growing that looks very similar to the 'Calabrian' ones in the jar. Does well in our PNW cool, wet summers; likely astounding elsewhere.. An heirloom from Africa called 'Fish", the plants and immature peppers are variegated beautifully. Leaves have irregular white blotches, and the peppers have white/green candy-cane stripes until they mature to a beautiful cone-shaped solid red pepper that has a nice heat for a wide variety of cuisines. Good fresh and they dry nicely as well. Astounding yield from medium-small plants. Listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste.
