striped bass

Atlantic coastal catch

Striped bass is a large silvery fish with dark horizontal stripes along its sides, prized by both commercial and sport fishers along the Atlantic coast of North America.

The flesh is firm and mild-flavored.

Often shortened to striper: We caught three stripers off the jetty.
