Possibly back-formation (influenced by cod) (codfish) from English dialectal (Cornwall) scrawed fish from scraw, scroal to prepare (young fish) by splitting, salting, partial drying, and broiling

Perhaps from an obsolete Dutch term schrood (“slice, shred"), from Middle Dutch schrode, schroode (in which case, it is ultimately cognate to shred). Compare East Frisian schrod (“small or worthless thing; shred").
