👉 Pluckiest is a term used in the context of cooking, specifically referring to the most tender and juicy part of a fish or other seafood. It refers to the flesh that is not cooked through but remains firm and juicy after it has been cut into pieces. This is often achieved by simply removing the scales from the fish before cooking. The pluckiest parts are typically those with the most delicate texture and tenderness, making them ideal for serving in dishes such as sushi or grilled fish.
