What is the fish listed as "scrod" in New England restaurants?
The
name comes from a Middle Dutch word "schrode"
meaning a strip or shred.
In
New England scrod may be immature cod or
haddock weighing 11/2 to 21/2 pounds.
Sometimes
the term is applied to cusk of about the
same weight, or to pollock weighing 11/2
to 4 pounds.
When
fishermen use the word, they are usually referring to gutted
small haddock.
