A long, slender fish with a pointed snout and greenish bones, found in Atlantic waters and prized as food in some regions.
From Old English and Germanic roots, 'gar' meaning spear or lance (referring to its shape) combined with 'fish,' describing its spear-like appearance.
Garfish are famous for their bright green bones, which happen because of a pigment called biliverdin—medieval people thought this made them special or magical, but it's just chemistry!
