What does JUREL mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A common name for several species of jack, a fast-swimming silvery marine fish found in warm coastal waters.
Jurel is used especially along the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific coasts of the Americas for various Caranx species, close relatives of the pompano and the amberjack. The fish travels in large schools near the surface, which makes the jurel a common catch for both commercial fishing fleets and recreational anglers. Its flesh is firm and oily, and it is often grilled or fried whole in the coastal cuisines where the name is used.
