what kind of baby animal is a fry

A fry is a baby fish —more specifically, a young fish that has recently hatched and is starting to feed on its own.

Quick Scoop

• Fry = baby fish.

• In some cases, people may also use fingerling for a slightly more developed young fish.

• The term does not usually refer to other baby animals.

Simple example

If someone says, “The pond is full of fry,” they mean it has young fish swimming around.
