After a pool sesion we had this discussion at a restaurant. Here it is from the Scrod web site.

When the first commercial fisheries developed along the New England Coast, they introduced mass processing of the plentiful codfish, the fillets was labeled Scrod. The term may origionate from the Dutch Term Schrod - to fillet.

Overfished to near extintion, Cod fishing is restricted but the name scrod is used for any unidentified whitefish that's good eating.
