The word “cunner” refers to a type of fish scientifically known as *Tautoga onitis*, commonly found in the North Atlantic Ocean, particularly along the northeastern coast of the United States. Cunners are often characterized by their robust body and are known for being popular in recreational fishing. The term can also be used regionally to refer to other types of fish, particularly those in the wrasse family. Additionally, in some contexts, “cunner” can be a colloquial term for a person who is resistant or obstinate.
