The Fish Weight
The Fish Weight is a professional-grade stainless-steel tool designed to help you achieve exquisite, restaurant-quality crisp skin fish effortlessly. Created by chef Josh Niland, this elegant piece of cookware ensures your fillet stays flat, cooks evenly, and develops a perfectly crisp skin, all without needing to finish in the oven.
Details & Design
-
Material: Food-grade stainless steel
-
Weight: 1.6 kg – substantial and stable
-
Finish: Mirror-polished base looks beautiful hanging in your kitchen
-
Dimensions: 16cm diameter
- Notes: On the base of the weight there is a dimple where the handle has been welded on - this is normal.
How to use The Fish Weight
-
Preheat your pan with a thin layer of clarified butter (or oil of choice).
-
Once hot, place the fish skin-side down into the pan.
-
Position The Fish Weight directly on top of the fillet.
-
For larger fillets, centre the weight over the thickest part.
-
-
Allow the weight to gently press the fillet into the pan, keeping the skin in full contact with the hot surface.
-
Adjust the weight as needed during cooking to ensure even pressure and uniform cooking across the fillet.
-
Let the heat transfer through the skin and up through the fillet—gently and evenly.
-
No oven required: the fish will cook completely on the stovetop, developing a crisp, golden skin and a tender, perfectly cooked interior.
- Rest the fish skin side up on a warm plate. Season well with sea salt.
The technique behind it
The steps above are the what. These articles are the why — what the skin is actually doing in the pan, and why contact matters more than heat or oil.

Let customers speak for us
I love my new Fish Weight, all the way from OZ. I saw Matt Tebbit talking about it on my fav cook programme Saturday Kitchen Live. It's a great addition to my kitchen. Beautifully boxed and presented and a quality product. Very happy with my purchase
My new must have in the kitchen to prep meals to look like at the restaurant. Design always sturs up a conversation!
The fish pan is a work of art - robust, beautifully made and will clearly last for many years ahead. A typical Josh Niland product then!
I enjoyed seasoning pan, and I’m in the early stages of breaking it in. - building up the layers of seasoning. That process helps provide a better understanding and relationship with the pan (if you can have a relationship with a pan!). It’s going to be a key element in my kitchen arsenal going forward & I’m super pleased with it.
Great pan amazing for all fish fillets
Absolutely love using my fish weight, which I've had for less than a month. I’ve used it not only for two different fish meals – salmon and barramundi – but also for steaks. The finished products have been excellent; cooked to, perfection. Am eagerly awaiting delivery of the cast iron big fish pan next month.
The product is TOP quality.
I haven’t had a chance to cook with it yet, but aesthetically it is a stunning edition and certainly appears to rise to the top of the fish cookery on the market. First rate!
You watch one to many videos with Josh Niland at the stove and you get excited - "Yeah, I need those tweezers too, how else do you expect me to lift and turn my fish? With tongs?"
Honestly, they're great and you don;t feel like you're manhandling soft flesh. Recommnend
Where do I start - incredible. Best, most usable cast iron an I have ever put in a stove top. It feels great in the hand, and cooks so well I am thinking of getting the larger pan, but you know, slow down, one pan at a time!
Excellent!
Loved the book and I have them all. When is next one coming?
Perfect gift
Great book beautifully presented. Recipes present a challenge but worth a go. Highly recommend.
Excellent quality and does the job!!!
the pan has now replaced all other pans and we are using our air fryer less.
they say grandmas cooking is best because she hasn't stopped using her cast pan for 40years. My wife is looking forward to this reality
Fantastic ! I followed the cure instructions and have a perfect pan that’s good for everything!
