Fish Slice

A wide, flat, slotted spatula used for lifting and turning delicate foods — particularly whole fish, fried eggs, and pastries — without them breaking apart, the British counterpart to what is often called a turner elsewhere.

Material & Construction

A thin, flat, perforated metal blade set at a slight angle to the handle, allowing it to slide easily under flat, delicate foods.

Traditional Uses

Turning fish fillets and whole fish in a pan without breaking them apart, and lifting eggs, pancakes, and pastries cleanly off a hot surface.

Modern Availability / Equivalents

The term and tool are functionally identical to what's generally called a "turner" or "spatula" elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

Care & Maintenance

Hand-wash and dry; the thin blade can bend under too much pressure, so it's generally reserved for delicate rather than heavy turning tasks.
