cod fillet

Boneless white fish

A cod fillet is a boneless piece of cod prepared for cooking.

Cod is a mild white fish common in North Atlantic waters, and fillets are the standard cut for fish and chips, baked dishes, and pan-frying: I picked up some cod fillets for dinner.

The term appears on menus and in recipes where the specific cut matters.
