Fish forks are an essential tool in the restaurant industry and are designed specifically for consuming fish. These forks have a unique design that makes it easier to handle and eat fish. The prongs of the fish fork are more pointed and slightly curved to enable better access to the bones of the fish. In addition, these forks are usually smaller in size compared to the regular dinner forks and are considered more specialized cutlery. Fish forks are often used in fine-dining restaurants that serve fish as a major part of their menu. They are an important part of the table setting and are usually placed on the right-hand side of the dinner plate. With their unique design, fish forks ensure a seamless and hassle-free dining experience when eating fish.

Fish Forks
Fish forks range between 7-1/4 to 7-3/4 inches in length, generally falling in between the lengths of a flatware collection's salad fork and dinner fork. Fish forks typically have three, relatively-flat tines, which would ostensibly aid in picking up flaky layers of fish. Occasionally, a fish fork may have four tines and it entirely depends upon the manufacturer and the design of the flatware pattern. The outer left and right tines are sometimes wider than the middle tine(s) to provide leverage when cutting fish, although many manufacturers design their fish forks without the wider tines since often the fish course is eaten not only with a fish fork but a fish knife.
RestaurantSupply.com carries several fish fork patterns so you should be able to find an appropriate style to fit in nicely with your existing flatware. Be certain to match the stainless steel grade of the fish fork to your other flatware sets so they complement and don't look out of place.
