1. Scrod

   Scrod or schrod () is a small cod or haddock, and sometimes other whitefish, used as food. It is usually served as a fillet, though formerly it was often split instead. In the wholesale fish business, scrod is the smallest weight category of the major whitefish. From smallest to largest, the categories are scrod, market, large, and whale. In the United States, scrod haddock or cusk weighs 1+1⁄2–3 pounds (0.7–1.4 kg); scrod cod 1+1⁄2–2+1⁄2 lb (0.7–1.1 kg); and scrod pollock 1+1⁄2–4 lb (0.7–1.8 kg). The exact weight categories are somewhat different in Canada.Scrod is common in many coastal New England and Atlantic Canadian fish markets and restaurants, although using the name 'scrod' without the species is in principle mislabeling.Historically, scrod was simply a small cod or haddock, "too small to swallow a bait" or "too small to be filleted", which was usually prepared by being split and lightly salted ("corned"), and sometimes quickly air-dried. They were generally broiled and served with butter. Starting in the mid-20th century, it came to mean a small haddock or cod that is filleted or split.

1. Scrod

   Scrod was originally any young cod, haddock, or other whitefish, split and boned. It is a term credited to chefs at Boston’s Parker House Hotel, also the originator of Parker House rolls. Scrod is a staple, even in 2013, in many coastal New England and Atlantic Canadian seafood and fish markets and as many restaurants, whether specializing in seafood or not. A popular acronym used in New England for scrod is "seaman’s catch received on deck", which implies whatever type of "whitefish" caught that day would be used universally for cooking. A dubious folk etymology holds that the term comes from the acronym “small cod remaining on dock”, but it more likely comes from the obsolete Dutch schroot, "piece cut off", or from scrawed, from Cornish dialect. Other folk expressions explain that when spelled "schrod" it is a haddock, and is otherwise cod. In Dutch, schrod means "to fillet", another possible etymology for "scrod". Scrawing was a method for preparing a fish for cooking by splitting it open, drying it in the sun and/or salting it overnight to remove moisture, and then broiling it when dry. Cooking a young cod or the split tail of a large cod, with the same preparation method as scrawing, has been labeled as "scrod" in a cookbook published as early as 1851. According to a friend of Daniel Webster, Webster greatly enjoyed scrawed cod for breakfast.
