A large, silvery, long-bodied fish found in warm coastal and estuarine waters, valued both as food and as a sport fish.
The snook lives mainly in the warm shallow waters of the western Atlantic and Gulf coasts, often near mangroves, river mouths and inlets where fresh and salt water mix. It is easily recognised by a pronounced lateral line running the length of its body and a protruding lower jaw, and anglers prize it for the strong fight it puts up when hooked. Several related species share the name snook across different tropical and subtropical regions.
