Choosing your fish cutlery

Why is a fish knife not sharp?

The fish knife has a wide, flat blade with no cutting edge. Its shape is meant to slide under the flesh to lift it and to push bones aside without tearing the fillet. This spatula function, rather than cutting, is what sets the fish knife apart from a table knife.

Do you need specific cutlery for shellfish?

For lobster, crab and langoustine, shellfish cutlery provides dedicated tools: pincers or crackers to break the shell and a small fork to extract the flesh. These complement the knife and the fish fork during a seafood service.

Which material should you choose?

18/10 stainless steel is recommended for its corrosion resistance, especially useful in contact with fish and sea salt, and for being dishwasher safe. It suits intensive catering use as well as family service.

How do you match fish cutlery with the rest of the setting?

Many ranges offer fish cutlery in the same finishes as table cutlery and service cutlery. Choosing a single collection ensures visual consistency between the fish pieces and the rest of your Cutlery range. Among the most popular collections are Blois Beau Manoir, the best-selling, along with Verlaine, Astrée Ciselé and Vieux Paris satiné.
