A large sea bass found in tropical and subtropical waters, also called the jewfish or giant grouper.
From Spanish cabrilla or Portuguese corvinata, with unclear exact etymology, but likely from Romance language roots referring to fish with specific characteristics.
The coromell can grow to enormous sizes—over 7 feet long and 400 pounds—making it one of the ocean's most impressive predators, yet its name is rarely known outside fishing communities!
