Best Answer

A fish fork is smaller than a dinner fork or salad fork. It usually only has three tines. It's meant to be small enough to get into small spaces in crab legs or in parts of lobster where you need a small tool to reach the meat.

A fish fork differs from a table fork both in size and use. The smaller pointier tines of the fork are necessary to eliminate any small bones encountered.

How do you use a fish knife at dinner?

Using a fish knife and fork is different to the manner in which one uses a dinner (meat) knife and fork, although they are held in the same way. When eating fish the fish knife is used to "separate" the "segments" of the meat, slipping the blade into the fish at the break and lifting it slightly sideways to separate it from the skin and the other meat, so that you can pierce the meat with the fork and lift it cleanly to your mouth. A fillet of fish is eaten from left to right, using the right hand side of the plate for discarded bones and skin unless a "bones plate" is provided. Place the "bones plate", touching your fish plate, above and slightly to the right. Separate the segments individually only when you wish to take them with your fork and if the sauce is placed upon the plate you can use the knife to lift the sauce and place it upon the fish portion before you eat it, do not "swirl" or "dip" the fish on your fork in the sauce. If the sauce is provided in a separate container, bring it to where it is touching your fish plate and use your knife to take the sauce and place it upon the fish before you bring it to your mouth.

Is fish a type of meat?

Yes, fish is a type of meat. Although we commonly refer to meat (meaning red meat), fish, seafood and poultry, the food we are referring to is mainly muscle fibre, or meat. It's easier to list, for example, recipes under these headings rather than group everything under 'meat', because methods of cooking different meats, while sometimes identical or nearly so, can also differ markedly.
