Snail tongs

You never know when you might find yourself eating snails.  If you do, then you may need some tongs in which to hold the snails.

They are available on the internet for only about £2.20 each.

Lobster crackers

Can you imagine anything more frustrating than not being able to get the meat out of a lobster?  Clearly you need in your pocket a lobster cracker – just in case you find yourself eating a lobster.  They come in many designs, but the elegant one shown will only set you back about £5.95.

Kitchen hot smoker

Want to hot smoke your own trout, salmon, chicken or duck breast without having to leave the kitchen, then this could be the device for you.  Availble on eBay for about £54.

Remember to turn off your smoke alarms before using!

A fish scale remover

Of course you can remove the scales from a fish using a knife or even your finger nails, but think how much nicer the fish will taste if you have a proper gadget to do it.  These are readily available and, although they can cost as much as £30, they can be acquired from Robert Dyas for just £3.
