A variant spelling of goujon, a small fried strip of fish or meat, particularly used in French cuisine.
From French goujon, diminutive of gouge (a hollow chisel), referencing the elongated shape of the fish fillet or meat strip.
The word 'goujon' comes from a funny coincidence—it refers both to a type of tool and a type of fried food, because medieval cooks thought the thin strips of meat looked like the narrow chisels used in woodworking.
