Definitions

  1. a large marine food fish common on the coasts of Australia, New Zealand, and southern Africa

Word origin

Borrowed from Afrikaans snoek, from Dutch snoek, from Middle Dutch snoec, from Old Dutch *snuoc. Some senses come from or are influenced by Dutch zeesnoek (“barracuda”, literally “sea pike”), a word that Van Riebeeck applied to the Thyrsites atun.

Used in a sentence

  • Snoek need not be scaled. The scales are very fine and usually slip off during handling.
