Dietitians Recommend This Fish Spatula

Having the right kitchen gear is so important. It can help motivate you to cook more healthy meals at home, which we’re big proponents of. Out of all gear categories, I’d argue that kitchen tools make the biggest impact—we use them every day, if not multiple times a day. While you likely already own the basics—like wooden spoons and rubber spatulas—there’s one underrated pick that dietitians believe everyone should have.

This fish spatula costs just $20 but can virtually transform the way you cook. At least, that’s how nutrition editor and registered dietitian Jessica Ball feels. Used for a whole lot more than fish, its unique shape can’t be duplicated in any other kitchen tool, and it helps Ball seamlessly cook her balanced meals all day, every day.

Aptly named a fish spatula, this Mercer Culinary tool was designed to help you flip delicate filets. However, the convenient shape ended up being so well-rounded that the tool has become a go-to for many meals beyond that. It’s all thanks to its smooth, wide and flat stainless steel surface and sturdy rosewood triple-riveted handle. “It’s thin and easy to slide under whatever you’re cooking, but is also strong enough to flip large cuts of meat or vegetables,” says Ball. That means you can use it for a range of dishes, whether eggs for brunch, charred vegetables for a meatless Monday or chicken for high-protein dinners. 

“Since they’re longer than most spatulas, they provide more support when removing food from a pan,” Ball adds, so it’s a helpful companion for even the most intimidating kitchen tasks. Because the spatula is 6 inches long, it has plenty of space to hold and maneuver your ingredients. “I use it for everything from smash burgers to cauliflower steaks,” Ball says. (The options don’t end there, of course.)

Ball isn’t the only one who loves it. Shoppers call out how versatile its design is: “We love this for everything and use it daily. Great for fries, toast, pancakes, eggs, stir fry….everything,” wrote one reviewer. “Don’t waste your time buying anything else. This is the spatula for you,” said a second person. “I will never go back. Not to be dramatic over a cooking tool, but I seriously am obsessed and tell people about these all the time. It’s strong and doesn’t bend,” they added. 

If dietitians are telling you this fish spatula is worth the $20 price tag, we recommend listening. Buy it now and make homemade meals that much easier.
