goujon

Fried fish piece

Goujon is a small strip of fish or chicken, breaded and deep-fried.

The word is French for gudgeon, a small freshwater fish traditionally prepared this way.

Now it describes the cut and cooking method rather than the species: fish goujons with tartar sauce, chicken goujons and chips.

Common on British pub menus.
