Oyster Forks

An oyster fork has three tines but is much narrower and shorter than most other types of forks.
Oyster forks are Short and curved because they are meant to fit inside the shell and pull the oyster meat out. 
Interesting fact, oyster forks are the only forks that are traditionally placed on the right side of the plate
that is because they do not have a knife or shell cracker that is paired with them.
