What is the difference between a fish filet and fish steak?

Answer 1

The difference is that :

a fish steak is a cross-section of the fish, containing the backbone and any other bones that were not removed prior,

whereas a fish fillet is taken from the side of the fish,cutting (filleting) the meat off of the backbone and usually attempting to leave out any other bones.

Answer 2

"fish fillet is fried and crispy , but fish loin is like a frozen fish."

That is the dumbest answer I have ever seen on this site! Obviously the fillet comes from a different part of the fish than the loin, right? Can't a fish specialist answer this question? Fried and crispy vs. frozen is not a valid answer.

A loin would be a fillet. There are no fish "loins".

Answer 3

A steak fish is a fish too large to be filleted, like tuna, large salmon, halibut or swordfish, so it is sliced into 'steaks' about 3/4 inch thick that can be fried, broiled, or grilled.

Answer 4

A fish fillet will always cook faster as it is more tender and soft then a beef steak any day. After you preasure cook the beef then only can you cook the steak.
