seafood fork

Crab leg tool

A seafood fork is a small, narrow utensil with two or three tines, designed for extracting meat from shellfish, crab legs, and lobster.

The slender design allows diners to reach into shells and tight crevices where regular forks cannot.

Seafood forks are typically included in formal place settings when shellfish is served, and they often appear alongside specialized tools like crab crackers.

She used the seafood fork to pull the last bits of meat from the lobster claw.
