fish slice

Flat kitchen lifter

A fish slice is a kitchen utensil with a broad, flat blade used for lifting and turning food—particularly fish fillets, which are delicate and prone to breaking.

The term is primarily British; Americans would call this a spatula or turner.

The blade often has slots to let liquid drain: She slid the fish slice under the fillet and transferred it to the plate.
