"Fish Pepper"?

[Penny]

Yeah I had someone tell me cats dont care to much for pepper plants and I put my hab in the window one morning to harden off. Came home from work to find it completely destroyed and a cat with a dirty face! These fish peppers look pretty cool maybe when I have more room ill give them a try!

 
  Too funny!!

Several sellers and discussion sources label this an "African-American" pepper and cite an association with the US Chesapeake Bay area.  Mention is also made of pairing these chiles with fish (thus, the name, I reckon) and shellfish, so the appeal, for me, keeps growing.
 
Another name would be more descriptive and still touch on the seafood-pairing angle: striper.
