Definition
A thin slice of meat or fish with no bones; also a decorative strip or band used in design or architecture.
Etymology
From Old French 'filet,' a diminutive of 'fil' (thread), from Latin 'filum.' Originally meant a thin thread, then applied to thin strips of meat that resembled threads.
Kelly Says
Filleting fish is an ancient skill—medieval cooks developed techniques for cutting fillets that are still used today, and the skill became so valued that master chefs had special knives made just for filleting.
