KITCHEN ESSENTIALS
To enjoy cooking fish and seafood at home you need a few of the basic tools. Almost all the equipment needed to cook fish at home is already available in a well stocked kitchen. Listed below are a few ideas.
Non stick frying pan
This is an essential for the keen fish cook. So many fish can be pan fried quickly and simply in a non stick pan; the trick is to replace the pan regularly so that you have a pan that doesn't stick!
Sharp filleting knife
Everyone has their own preference of kitchen knives and filleting ones are no exception.
Sharpening steel
A sharpening steel is really only used to refresh the sharpness of a knife. We hone our knives on a stone before hand on a sharpening stone but, please take care as the knife will be REALLY sharp!
Oyster knife
If you enjoy oysters then this knife is a real asset to your kitchen tools. The blade is short and stubby and purpose built for the job. Alternatively an old kitchen knife that has a short strong blade that is no longer sharp can be used.
Lobster Pick
These chaps are around 6" long and slim, they have a forked end that is ideal for removing meat from lobster claws.
Fish Slice
A fish slice used to be an important tool of the victorian kitchen. Increasing interest in fish cookery has brought this implement back in to vogue. We suggest a modern equivalent to the old silver ones; they're cheaper too!
Garlic Press
If you are not keen on chopping garlic then one of these is the perfect solution.
