Another RI-ism--river herring = "buckie".

The one I never figured out was "green bonito"

Was it a true bonito or an albie--they're both green.

It's what you would call a true bonito, which is different from an oceanic bonito - which you might call skipjack tuna.
Best regards,

Reminds me of another local colloquialism from my youth--small blues--snappers--used to be called "skipjacks" in RI.
