What does SAURY mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A slender, silvery marine fish related to the needlefish, with a long pointed snout and beak-like jaws.
The saury lives in open ocean waters and travels in large schools near the surface, where it is caught commercially for food, especially in parts of Asia. Its body is long and narrow, with a pointed beak formed by the jaws, which sets the saury apart from most other small fish. Several related species share the name, and the Pacific saury in particular is a major catch off the coasts of Japan and Russia. Because it swims close to the surface at night, fishers have long used lights to draw saury toward their nets.
