What does COHOE mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A silver-colored Pacific salmon with small black spots, more commonly spelled coho, prized by anglers and packed commercially for its pink flesh.
Cohoe is an older spelling of coho, the silver salmon that spawns in rivers along the North Pacific coast and around the Great Lakes after several years feeding at sea. Fishing and packing records from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries often used cohoe where a modern text would simply write coho, and the fish itself is prized both by sport anglers for the fight it puts up on a line and by canneries for its firm, pink flesh. The name is thought to come from a coastal Pacific Northwest language, where the fish has long been a staple catch.
