About this product

Finish fillet preparation with these Japanese-made stainless-steel fish-bone tweezers. Broad flat sides lead to angled tips for grasping exposed pin bones.

  • 4¾-inch overall length
  • Stainless-steel construction
  • Angled contact faces and broad finger-grip surfaces
  • Made in Japan; supplied as one puller

Product Overview

The 163400 fish-bone tweezer brings a broad grip and angled working ends to the final check of a fish fillet. Its stainless-steel sides taper toward opposing contact faces, giving you a small hand tool for grasping individual exposed pin bones.

Made in Japan and measuring 4¾ inches overall, this puller has a longer body than the other three models in this collection. Choose it for its combination of reach, wide finger-contact surfaces and bent tips.

Broad sides, angled working ends

The flat sides widen through the gripping area before tapering toward the bent ends. The close-up view shows how the two contact faces meet, making the tip profile easier to assess than overall length alone.

Pinch the sides behind the working ends so you can see where the tips meet the bone. Check that the faces align cleanly before starting, and avoid using the tool to pry or twist hard objects.

Work along the pin-bone line

Lay the fillet on a stable board and run clean fingertips gently along it to locate exposed pin bones. Grip one bone close to its base, support the surrounding flesh and draw the bone out steadily in its natural direction.

Keep the tips on the bone rather than digging into the fillet. Reposition when necessary and check the worked area again before moving to the next portion; a careful second pass is still part of preparation.

Keep the tool and board ready for the next fillet

Place a small dish beside the board to collect removed bones, and keep it separate from prepared portions. Clear scraps from the contact faces as you work so the next bone can sit between clean tips.

After use, handwash the puller, rinse and dry it thoroughly, including the joined end and inner faces. Store it where the tips will not be bent by heavier utensils.
