mackerels
Sleek ocean fish
Mackerels is the plural of mackerel, a fast-swimming fish with a streamlined body and distinctive wavy markings.
Mackerel are found in both Atlantic and Pacific waters and are popular as food fish, often smoked, grilled, or canned.
The fishermen brought in dozens of mackerels.
A mackerel sky has rows of cirrocumulus clouds resembling the fish's pattern.
