Oh, are you not talking about those little fondue like forks for digging out meat from crab legs?

Look at this illustration: The Formal Place Setting - The Emily Post Institute, Inc.
In this, a fish fork is shorter than a dinner fork, but slightly larger than a salad fork. I'm mystified.

VERY cool! So, do you use it for all fish?

 

[Neesy]

VERY cool! So, do you use it for all fish?

At first I thought you meant the long skinny fork (like Dana or someone mentioned) - I am a big fan of Red Lobster

As far as answering your question - ask my ex who was a steward and ran this type of affair - a Mess Dinner

I am not all that big on etiquette - I just remember seeing such a place setting way back when

(Mostly we tried not to drink too much, as you are not allowed to leave the table until the head table decides it is okay)

Spoiler: ewww

I have heard of guys peeing into empty wine bottles under the table - yeesh!

 

[Neesy]

VERY cool! So, do you use it for all fish?

Just found something, skimom:


"FISH FORK
The fish fork is approximately 7¼ to 7¾ inches in length and is used in formal and informal dining. To provide leverage in separating fish from the body, the fish fork features an extra wide left tine, and an optional notch, grooved to fit over the bones."

Spoiler: um

Eyes on the prize, babe. Nothing stands between me and my mandatory bubble bath, book and bed time. I take a look at what needs to happen to make that happen and get moving accordingly. So really, it's a quest to be lazy.
