Tinned Fish Tongs

Original Price: Current Price:$30

These delicate tongs were born to pluck fish from a tin. Crafted from pro-grade Stainless Steel in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan, these elegant tongs combine the long tapered profile of Japanese cooking chopsticks with the precision of plating tweezers, making them the perfect utensil to lovingly lift a sardine from a tin of fish and place it atop a fresh baguette.

We partnered with San Francisco-based design firm, Gestura, to bring these perfectly crafted Tinned Fish Tongs to our customers. Gestura was founded by former professional cook and designer, Gabe Rudolph. Gabe partners with artisan manufacturers in Japan to craft designs that pair elegance with functionality to create kitchen tools for the modern home chef.

    They will be so useful.

    This will be Christmas gift so they haven't been used yet. They're beautifully packaged and will make a good gift. Having has Fishwife tinned fish before, I can imagine them being useful.

    I’ve been eating tinned fish for 60 years, growing up with Norwegian relatives. My uncles jarred their own pickled herring and my mother ate sardines and kippered fish from tins regularly. Though we never had a tool for eating tinned products, I tried your Fish Tongs and found them really useful. Freeing these crazy fish from their beds in the can has always been messy and usually breaks the fish into pieces! No more. The tongs are perfect to extract the “whole” fish and my wife is thrilled my messes are now remedied. Great quality and well designed. Bravo!

    Where have these been all my life?

    These are so handy. They’re great for getting those tightly packed sardines out of the tin. I’ve also used them for arranging items on a charcuterie tray. Much more hygienic than using my fingers.
