EN: slice (usually slanted); fillet
Ito yung hiwa na parang 'slash' (/). Hindi basta-basta hiwa, may angle. Think of how they slice the fish for sinigang or paksiw—that's hilis. It's the kind of cut that shows you know your way around a palengke kitchen. It's a cut with technique.
Primarily used in a culinary context, especially for fish.
