From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Shote \Shote\, n. [AS. sce['o]ta a darting fish, a trout, fr.
sce['o]tan. See {Shoot}, v. t.]
1. (Zo["o]l.) A fish resembling the trout. [Obs. or Prov.
Eng.] --Garew.
2. [Perh. a different word.] A young hog; a shoat.
While 1 may not be properly pluralised with /s/, 2 can be. ;)
