Etymology

The term 'fillet' originates from the French word 'filet', meaning 'a small strip or thread', derived from the Old French 'fil', which means 'a thread'. This usage dates back to around the 17th century when French cuisine began to influence culinary practices throughout Europe. The practice of filleting meat and fish has existed for thousands of years, as early cooks discovered the benefits of separating flesh from bones for easier consumption. Over time, this method became a standard technique in kitchens, leading to the term evolving into a more common term in English.
