Of course we all are familiar with the basics: knives, spoons & forks. But what about all those other serving pieces that the well-heeled were so fond of? They were all part of an elaborate table setting, as formal, unique serving utensils for almost every kind of food—oysters, asparagus, crackers, fruit preserves, horseradish, olives—were part of a daily fine-dining experience.
Behold, the delightfully utilitarian oyster fork! Designed in the classically French style, this set of 6 French Oyster Forks was has three tines. The outer tines are wider to allow for ease in separating the oyster from the membrane that connects it to the shell. Once the oyster is liberated from its iridescent bed, the fork allows it to be pierced or scooped with the fork.
Also handy as cocktail forks or for securing cocktail shrimp, the set is presented in a handsome wooden case. Remove the wood case cap to casually display forks for service and corral at the end of the gathering to ensure they remain at the ready all season long. With a charming shell embellishment at the end of the handle and a practical elegance, these versatile forks are sure to become a delightful addition to your entertaining repertoire.
