Celebrate National Seafood Month with the Right Tools for the Job

October is National Seafood Month, a time to celebrate the fish and shellfish that make their way from coastlines, fisheries and markets to kitchens and tables across the country. Whether you’re preparing a fresh catch, breaking down a whole fish, grilling a fillet or simply putting dinner on the table, the right tools can make seafood preparation easier, more precise and more enjoyable. At Lamson, we’ve been crafting kitchen tools since 1837. This October, we’re highlighting some of our favorites for seafood lovers.

From Prep to Plate

Seafood preparation can call for a little more finesse than the average weeknight meal. Delicate fish needs a gentle touch, shrimp takes careful preparation, and larger cuts benefit from tools that give you plenty of control.

The Chef’s Slotted Turner available in rich Walnut or modern Black POM, is made for the delicate side of seafood cooking. Its thin, flexible edge slides easily beneath fish, while the slotted design allows excess oil and butter to drain away as you lift and turn.

When it’s time to break down the catch, a Boning/Fillet Knife gives you the precision and control needed to work cleanly around bones and create smooth, even fillets. Lamson’s Vintage and Forged collections offer options for different preferences, from classic character to modern performance.

For seafood on the grill, the 20″ Premier BBQ Fish Turner provides a generous slotted surface and extended reach, giving you more control when turning larger fillets over the heat.

Preparing shrimp? The Walnut Shrimp Deveiner makes it easier to shell, devein and butterfly shrimp in one smooth motion, helping turn seafood prep from a tedious task into a more enjoyable part of the process.

And for those who appreciate the traditions behind seafood preparation, the Ulu brings a distinctive piece of culinary history to the kitchen. Its broad, curved edge is designed for a natural rocking motion and can be used for everything from seafood preparation to chopping vegetables, herbs and other ingredients.

A Month for Seafood Lovers

National Seafood Month is about more than one recipe or one type of fish. It’s an opportunity to explore new ingredients, revisit familiar favorites and enjoy the process of preparing something delicious. From the first cut to the final flip, having the right tool in hand can make all the difference.
