Amberjack
is always a great word to know.
So is bezoar. Does it mean:
| a calculus or concretion found in the stomach or intestines of certain animals, esp. ruminants, formerly reputed to be an effective remedy for poison. |
| a screen or mat covered with a dark material for shielding a camera lens from excess light or glare. |
Example sentences
The fish commonly caught include grouper, grunts, snapper and amberjack.
The underreporting was particularly apparent with respect to grouper and amberjack.
Not that the plump, yellow-tailed amberjack was still alive, mind you.
