Description

The fish knife has usually been reserved for fine dining but its usefulness for certain fish means its place in the home kitchen should not be overlooked or forgotten. A fish knife has a range of uses and benefits.

In addition to helping separate the fish from its skin, the fish knife’s broad blade can assist with lifting the fish to the fork while keeping all the flakes in one piece. You can use a fish knife to make strategic cuts that simplify skin removal, then turn it and use the blade to lift the meat from the bones onto the fork. Proper fish knife and fork etiquette keeps the fish intact from the knife to the fork and eventually to the mouth. As a bonus, the fish knife’s generally wide surface comes in handy for daintily spreading any sauce served alongside the fish.
