A fillet knife is similar to a boning knife, but it has a longer and slightly narrower blade, and is used almost exclusively on fish. When the word fillet is used with meat, it’s used as a noun. But when it’s used with fish, it’s both a noun (“fillet of fish”) and a verb (“fillet that fish”). No one ever says, “fillet that cow.”
