Boarfish

  1. n. An Australian percoid fish (Histiopterus recurvirostris), valued as a food fish.
  2. n. A Mediterranean fish (Capros aper), of the family Caproidae; — so called from the resemblance of the extended lips to a hog’s snout.

The word meanings were obtained from OPTED(The Online Plain Text English Dictionary), which is based on “The Project Gutenberg Etext of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary” which is in turn based on the 1913 US Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (See Project Gutenburg), as a text file.
