skipjack
Small canned tuna
Skipjack refers to several things that skip or jump.
Most commonly it's a skipjack tuna—a small, commercially important tuna that leaps from the water when feeding.
The word also names various other fish that break the surface, and a type of traditional Chesapeake Bay sailboat with a V-shaped hull.
The skipjack fleet once dominated the oyster harvest.
