🐟🌺 gallo = rooster (Latin gallus); fish and poppy named after the rooster

Gallo usually means rooster. In Spain the John Dory is also called pez de San Pedro, and gallo names it and the megrim, perhaps for their crest-like fins. The red common poppy shares the name, likely after a rooster's red comb.
