What does SCROD mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A young codfish or haddock, especially one prepared and served as food.
On New England restaurant menus, scrod names a small, young cod or haddock rather than a fixed species. Because the word refers to the age and size of the fish rather than one particular kind, a plate labeled scrod might come from either fish depending on the catch of the day. The term grew out of the fishing trade in coastal New England and stayed tied to that region's cooking and markets. Outside that culinary context, scrod is rarely used in everyday English.
