Catch And Release Yolk Fish

Silicone YolkFish Squeeze Fish Lips Swallow Release Egg Separator Cooking and Baking Tool Yolk Fish by Peleg Design

Whoever said imitation is the highest form of flattery wasn’t living in the digital age. As soon as the Quirky Pluck Yolk Extractor showed up on the crowdsourcing site, the copycats got in on the action. Now there are tons of yolk tools available. (Here’s what a yolk search in the Home & Kitchen department on Amazon will get you.) While the original yolk extracting design was elegant in its simplicity, it lacked any pizzazz. And it looked nothing like a fish.

While the original idea for the egg gadget was clever, the Silicone YolkFish Squeeze Fish Lips Swallow Release Egg Separator Cooking and Baking Tool by Peleg Design takes it (and its product title) one step further. The idea of using a fish to fish for egg yolks is certainly cute and the egg separator does offer a fun whimsical shape, but at the price they are asking for it, the thing might as well be shaped like a cash cow — at least until the next thing wanders or swims along.

Fish Palm Tree Measuring Spoons

Crosby & Taylor Fish Measuring Spoon with Pewter Palm Tree Post

Whoever said fish doesn’t grow on trees was wrong. (I’m sure somebody, somewhere once may have said that. Maybe.) All it takes is one quick look at the Crosby & Taylor Fish Measuring Spoon with Pewter Palm Tree Post to put that fallacy to rest. Clearly, fish do grow on trees. Especially when they are both made of pewter.

Perhaps the product description says it best:

For those who love palm trees and fish, this set is a perfect combination of the practical and the innovative.

Palm trees and fish. Together at last!

Wine Drinking Fish

River's Edge Realistic Bass Fish Wine Bottle Holder

It should come as no surprise that fishing and drinking are two activities that go well together. But fish and drinking? As in drinking fish? Sure, why not? They seem to like liquids. It is certainly the case with the River’s Edge Realistic Bass Fish Wine Bottle Holder.

The hand-painted polyresin wine holder props up a standard sized 750-ml bottle for all to see. However, as most people are going to be distracted by the centerpiece, now might be a good time to try to sneak by a bottle of Two Buck Chuck.

Fish and lemon cocktail?

Fish Lemon Squeezer

While to some it may be somewhat disconcerting to have a fish spit in their drink, others apparently find the prospect quite appetizing. If you’re using the (Fish) Lemon Squeezer and you find your Lemon Drop cocktail a bit fishy tasting, well, I think you know what to blame. Of course, there’s no actual fish involved with this stainless steel, dishwasher safe citrus squeezer, but I don’t think looking at that engraved fish on the side would do anything for my aperitif. Perhaps that’s why this new squeezer is already on sale for $5.00. Get ‘em now, while they last.
