    Afternoon all

    Anyone know where I can get some in the city centre or northside and how much they cost?

    Cheers

    I use a regular pair of eyebrow tweezers, I didn't realise that there was such a thing as specialist fish tweezers

    I've got a pair .. they're a bit more substantial than normal tweezers .. can't for the life of me remember where I got them though. They look like this ...

    Or a fine pliers from a craft shop works well too.

    Thanks for the info.... tried the g/f's eyebrow tweezers but they were too thin (and she wasnt too impressed either.. ha)

    Snip nose pliers is the best tool for the job, much better than fancy fish tweezers

    I use a pliers, i think its easier to grip especially when your hands are slippery. But i know you can get the tweezers in stock just off the top of Grafton street or in Sweeney O Rourke on Pearse st.

    I wouldn't even consider taking the pin bones out of mackerel, they are so small its hardly worth it.
    Salmon and big fish deffo, smaller stuff you just wreck.
