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.

from 57 reviewsWhat did i even do correctly with our it!!
I will admit that I had doubts about the price, but I have zero regrets. Besides looking great (I got bronze), it changed my fish cooking game immediately. Get it!
Absolutely love my fish weight. It’s great for fish, steaks , chicken on pan or bbq
I recently received the fish weight, and it has brought such a lovely sense of ritual to cooking fish at home. As someone who orders weekly from Fish Butchery, receiving this pre-order has made me even more excited for my Friday delivery.
The quality and care are always appreciated. My only small wish would be to see a little more variety in the weekly fish selection, with perhaps fewer barramundi deliveries, as discovering different fish is part of what makes the experience so special.
I procrastinated about buying one of these as I love cooking a cook steak but hate the meat not making great contact with the pan/grill.
This weight adds enough pressure to get a great outcome!
I was sceptical but I have used it several times now for salmon. Absolutely great results. Will now experiment with chicken. Highly recommended. I have the gold one and it is beautiful too!
The best fish I’ve ever had at home! Highly recommend, even used it on steak recently which also worked a treat!
My second. Needed to handle larger quantities of food. While focused on fish, it is as useful with steaks. The design is well thought through and the handle design in itself, speaks volumes to the amount of design/functionality evaluation.
So useful and looks good
Found this to be such a good book. It has inspired me and has given me a different way of how I prepare my fish. Can’t wait to give it all a try.
I thought it would be good, but it is so amazing for not only fish but other meat as well. Simply the best thing I have purchased for my kitchen.
Didn’t at first know what I was going to do with these tweezers. But after using them to turn over small items in the pan, I find it to be quite useful.
Good weight, round so that it fits easily in my pan and makes a beautiful addition to my kitchen.
