Etymology

The word 'scrod' is believed to have originated from the Old Norse word 'skroรฐ', which means 'the skin or a husk of a fish'. It was popularized in the northeastern United States, where various types of white fish, particularly young cod and haddock, have been referred to as scrod. The usage of the term has evolved over the years, becoming closely associated with specific culinary practices in New England. The dish's popularity surged in the 20th century, particularly in coastal regions where fishing is a vital part of the economy. As a result of its culinary versatility and appeal, scrod continues to be a staple in seafood cuisine across the region.
