Noun[edit]
margate fish (plural margate fishes)
- A white margate, an edible fish of the west Atlantic.
Usage notes[edit]
A misreading of an early reference caused this name to be wrongly applied to Haemulon aurolineatum, the tomtate, in a few dictionaries and other reference works, but this apparently never made it into actual usage.
