bream
Silvery freshwater catch
Bream refers to several freshwater fish with deep, laterally compressed bodies.
In Europe, bream typically means fish of the carp family found in slow rivers and lakes.
In North America, the term covers various sunfish, especially bluegill: We caught a mess of bream at the pond.
The word also names some unrelated saltwater species.
