Fish Tools
When you’re working with fish, whether whole fish or fillets, it helps to have the right tools.
1. The Winco fish spatula is perfect for maneuvering pan-seared fillets. Ultra-thin, tapered, and flexible, the stainless-steel head slides easily under delicate cuts, and the splayed slotted design helps keep fish in one piece and allows cooking oil to drip back into the pan.
