Anyone suggestions for a fish spatula/turner

TheDirtyBurger

I have tried many times to use tongs when doing fish which mostly ends in disaster. I am not that graceful. I had large grill spatulas, I think they are a waste of metal and space. Anyone have a fish turner/spatula that they would suggest. I am not sure I want just a grill one because I may someday choose to cook fish inside (I doubt it though). Plus I could probably use this spatula on burgers as well as mine fell apart last night when attacked by a fat drunk with tongs.

thanks guys

I've seen one that is about 8" wide and 3-4" long. I think it was made by Weber.

Hi TDB

I have a couple by Weber . . .



the three pieces on the left come as as set, I found them at Home Depot. The two spatulas on the right I found at a Bass Pro Shop, the inside one is a fish turner by name but is strong enough to lift a 8# butt out of the egg. It is at least 7" wide, has a beveled edge and doubles as a canoe paddle or a snow shovel. The one on the far right is at least 7" long. They are stainless, about 16" long and well made. I haven't found anything I can't handle with this set.

Thanks guys
I went with the norpro. I can't believe I never thought of using a big old spatula to get butts and such off the egg. Guess I need to make some salmon, butts, and burgers when it comes just to make sure it works right!

LamsonSharp makes a spatula/tong combination. One side is a spatula and the opposing arm is a normal tong configuration. That's what I use for burgers and fish.

Tim,
to each his own, but I find these turkey forks are perfect for handling pork butts.

I've used a basket, that was sprayed with non stick spray-aka-PAM.
