cunner
/ˈkʌnə
/noun
An edible greenish-grey wrasse (fish) which lives along the Atlantic coast of North America.
- Tautogolabrus adspersus, family Labridae.
- It may be that the first hook was taken by some other fish, but the cunner got in ahead on the bait.
- Tautog, sea bass, and cunners share the feeding grounds of mussel beds and other small crustaceans.
Origin
Early 17th century: perhaps associated with archaic conder, denoting a lookout who alerts the crew of fishing boats to the direction taken by shoals of herring.
