n. a small fish of the wrasse family, Tautogolabrus adspersus.
- 1945  The morning was silky calm, and we thought we would try our hand at catching a few small fish, cunners or frost fish, so we went out in the skiff with our lines.
- 1963  It was also various wharves, five in number, the short brokendown ones where we fished for cunners and the long one piled with lumber where the beautiful tall ships came.
