A fish or steak's reward for having no bones and good lineage.

means A boneless cut of meat or fish, or the act of slicing bones out of one, usually sold at a price that matches its honest, unobstructed texture.

from From French 'filet,' meaning a little thread or fillet, itself a diminutive of 'fil,' thread — because the word first described a thin strip or slice of something bound or tied, before it narrowed down to mean a trim, boneless cut of meat or fish. The thread sense survives in English too, as in the 'fillet' of ribbon or the baseball sense of a strip across a field.
