No. The l is silent in either meaning. The color itself is the color of the fish.

Fish - Fee-lay
Steak - Fa-lay
Salmon - samon with L silent

When I was working with some northerners from New York with Restaurant Depot, they used to make fun of me for saying filet the way I did. They pronounced it fil-its. I think they also said sal-mon. They also used to make fun of me saying yall. Damn Yankees.

Is the McDonald's sandwich pronounced:

Fuh-lay-o-fish, or Fee-lay-o-fish?

What's really confusing is when you use almonds in a certain sauce, it becomes Amandine, as in the New Orleans dish trout amandine. I laugh at menus that spell it almondine.

Which is the correct answer. (Not the long I sound feye, but fih)

Downvotes from people that don't speak French and/or are just ignorant. That's cool.


I don't think you speak french very well

fille - sounds like "feel" not "fill"

wifi is "wee fee"

Well, the day filet and fille are the same word is the day that your post contradicts mine.

It's hard to argue with people who don't speak French lol. "I" is pronounced like "E" in this case and loads of others.

Fine-"feen"
Chinois-"sheen-wah"
Diose-"dee-ose"
Brioche-"Bree-oash"
Filet-"fee-lay"

I pointed out examples of how the letter i makes a "ee" sound in french

you just don't know french. Which is weird because you came out and said others don't know french.

I say that sometimes, just to be silly... I had no idea there were people that actually said it that way...

reminds me of a girl in middle school who once pronounced jalapeños.. juh-lap-uh-nos
