Plural of gurry; fish offal or waste produced during fish processing, consisting of parts like heads, bones, and intestines not used for human consumption.
From 'gurry,' possibly of Scandinavian origin or from a nautical term used by New England fishermen, referring to the waste products of fish butchering.
What fishermen once threw overboard as worthless waste is now used to make fish meal for animal feed, fish oil supplements, and even biofuel—nothing gets wasted anymore!
