Oyster and cocktail forks are specialized utensils commonly used in restaurants to aid in the consumption of seafood and other small appetizers. These forks are designed to be small and slender, making them the perfect tool for extracting meat from small shells, such as those found on oysters. Not only do they allow for a more refined dining experience, but they also prevent guests from having to use their hands to retrieve the meat from the shell. These forks are often made of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel or silver, and are an essential addition to any upscale restaurant's table setting. With their small size and elegant design, oyster and cocktail forks are a must-have for any restaurant looking to provide their guests with a sophisticated dining experience.

Oyster and Cocktail Forks
The oyster fork is also called a seafood fork or a cocktail fork, although some manufactures consider these as separate forks. In general the oyster fork is a small, narrow fork with 3 short curved tines and a proportionally longer handle. The tines are used to spear seafood meat out of its shell, and the curved tines conform to the curve of most seafood shells. The outer tines of an oyster fork are extra wide in order to increase leverage when cutting the membrane that attaches the oyster to its shell. The oyster or cocktail fork ranges from approximately 4 to 5-1/2 inches in overall length.
