Both are correct. The only difference is in common usage. Both words have exactly the same definition and both spellings are widely accepted. You may use either, but you definitely shouldn't alternate them in your writing.

With a knife in your hand, you fillet a fish. Once cooked, you serve a filet of sole, etc. And don't forget the lemon when you're at the store.

Fillet for fish, filet for a filet mignon. I don't know what the difference is, but that's how I learned it.

Either one can be used, as in filet mignon or a fillet of sole.

Both are correct.They really stem from sewing. A fine lace or thread,which over the years translated to a small thin cut of meat.

I think fillet is correct.
