FILLETS Meaning and
Definition
-
Fillets, in its noun form, refer to thin strips or pieces of boneless meat, fish, or poultry that are removed from the main body or carcass. These strips are typically obtained by separating the flesh from the bones, making them easier to cook, serve, or store. Fillets are widely used in cooking and often preferred over whole cuts due to their tenderness and versatility. They can be prepared in various ways, such as grilling, frying, baking, or broiling, depending on the desired flavor and texture.
Apart from meat, fillets are also commonly associated with the culinary preparation of fish. Fish fillets are deboned cuts that are usually obtained by slicing the fish along the body from head to tail, carefully removing the bones and leaving behind only the smooth, boneless flesh. Fish fillets are valued for their mild taste, firm texture, and ease of cooking, making them a popular choice among seafood lovers.
In a verb context, "fillet" refers to the act of removing bones from a piece of meat or fish, transforming it into a boneless fillet. This process is typically accomplished by using a sharp knife to carefully scrape the flesh away from the bones, leaving a clean, boneless strip. Filleting is a skill that many chefs and home cooks develop to ensure maximum yield and minimal waste when working with whole cuts of meat or fish.
