Belly

Fillet belly of ling is the lower edge strip separated from the main loin—thinner, with a little more richness and sometimes residual membrane from the cavity. It suits crisp pan work, curries, and cakes better than formal plated steaks. Trim bloodline and bones, then fry hot or fold into moist preparations. Value cut after loins are taken from large fish.
