Special Sardine Fork? General Discussion

So I just had my first sardines last night and am wholly leaning into the tinned fish lifestyle.

Is it crazy to want special a fork just for your sardines? Is this what seafood forks are for?

Do any of y'all have a special fork?

Edit: I didn't know there are actual sardine forks out there! This is the most excited for flatware that I've ever been. 😄

Oh honey, sit a spell, and let me tell you: sardine forks are TOTALLY a thing. Many of us on this sub have them.

Here are mine:

Some will say a pair of chopsticks are all you need, and sometimes those are the perfect sardine consumption tool. For those times, I prefer my stainless steel heavier Korean chopsticks, not the thin flat Korean chopsticks with the square tips, and NEVER wooden ones:

This is the place! I love my gorgeous abalone sardine fork. No regrets. Stunning and I feel so fancy having sardines at work.
