sheepshead
Card game fish
Sheepshead refers to several North American fish with teeth resembling a sheep's, particularly a black-banded fish found along the Atlantic coast.
The word also names a card game popular in the upper Midwest, descended from a German trick-taking game: We play sheepshead every Friday night.
In some regions, it's a term for the freshwater drum.
