Fry, fingerlings, etc.
Hi,
I was wondering which of terms listed below are common enough in modern English.
- Newly hatched fish
- fry (either single or plural? )
- Fingerling (countable?)
- Young fish
- juvenile fish
Also, one of my dictionaries claims 'fry' normally applies only to salmon... In a nutshell, I am having big problems filtering correct English from the 'internet' fed English :-
Top answer
Broadly speaking, people who live in cities rarely talk about this. I probably would say eg newly hatched fish, eg baby fish. Roe doesn't just refer to salmon.

They are not in general use. They seem to be examples of jargon.
