bisques
Rich shellfish soups
Bisques is the plural of bisque, which has two main meanings.
A bisque is a rich, creamy soup, typically made from shellfish: lobster bisque, crab bisque.
Bisque is also unglazed white porcelain used for figurines and dolls: a collection of bisque dolls.
The soup sense is far more common in everyday usage.
