Knives & Preparation

Get the blade right and the rest of the job follows. Our knives and preparation range covers the sharp end of seafood cookery, from a soft-grip oyster knife for shucking safely to seafood shears that cut clean through shells and fins. There's a fish scaler for whole fish, stainless steel bone tweezers for pulling pin bones, a Deluxe Shellfish Tool Kit with shears for the full set. Each one is chosen for grip, balance and durability. New to filleting? Our how to gut and fillet fish guide walks you through every cut, so the scaler and tweezers soon feel second nature.

Knives and shears for shellfish

An oyster knife is shaped to prise shells apart safely. Seafood shears give real leverage through crab legs and lobster claws, where a kitchen knife would only slip. Snip down the underside of a tail and the meat comes out whole. If shellfish is your thing, read preparing molluscs and shellfish before your first go, then let the tools do the work. These same blades turn up across our Shellfish Preparation range, for crab, lobster and oysters alike.

Scaling and filleting with confidence

Hold a whole mackerel by the tail, work the scaler against the grain, and it's ready in moments. Over the sink, mind, or the scales go everywhere. Once it's prepped and cooked, our eating shellfish guide is a handy companion for getting every last bit from a crab or lobster at the table. Nothing flashy here. Just dependable kit that does as it's told.
