Usage Note
Morue is the standard French word for Atlantic cod, a fish central to French Atlantic and Caribbean cuisine. In Quebec and older slang, morue is also a highly offensive insult for a woman; learners should be aware of this in casual contexts. La brandade de morue is a classic Provençal cod dish.
