A fish knife is shaped differently from a table knife for a practical reason: the broad, blunt blade is designed to lift fillets away from bones and flake flesh rather than cut through it, which is exactly the wrong action for fish. Using the right knife makes eating a whole fish easier and considerably tidier. This 6-piece set in stainless steel, each 20cm long, covers a full table and suits home dining, hotels and restaurants where fish is served properly. Steel does not tarnish or react with fish oils and lemon, both of which mark lesser metals. A set of six is the standard covers count for a dining table.

Buying guide
Fish knives are used with a fork in the other hand, the blade lifting and separating rather than sawing. Wash them promptly after use: fish oils and lemon juice are acidic and will mark cutlery left sitting overnight, even stainless steel. Dry immediately rather than leaving them to air dry, which causes water spotting on a polished finish. Store them with the rest of the cutlery but ideally in their own compartment, since a set that gets mixed in loses pieces. Six is the standard table count; add spares if you host larger numbers.
How it compares
Against a standard table knife, a fish knife lifts and flakes rather than cutting, which is the correct technique for fish. Against a fillet knife, this is for the table rather than the kitchen. For a formal service, fish knives paired with fish forks complete the setting.
