hueso, noun
bone; stone
bone; stone
Like so many words in English and Spanish hueso has two different but conceptually related meanings. It can refer to the bonesof a person or animal, or to the stones of fruit and olives.
un corte de carne con hueso
a cut of meat on the bone
aceitunas sin hueso
pitted olives
Remember that hueso does not refer to fish bones. The word for these is espinas:
con las espinas puedes hacer fondos de pescado
with the bones you can make a fish stock
