I just bought a cheap pair of tweezers from the beauty aisle at the supermarket - works for me .Also easier to bone salmon if you freeze it then defrost it - can always tell if my "fresh" salmon is actually frozen and defrosted by the ease with which the bones come out.
It is not difficult to pin-bone salmon.A pair of needle-nose pliers will do it, but fish tweezers are easier.

crikey, those are expensive. A good pair of these in s/s are $12.50 for exactly the same tweezers. The larger size means you get a far better grip of the pin bones for easier removal.

I just use the blade of a knife and a little slieght of hand for the capers.As for salmon,I use a pair ofpointy nosed pliers that I'm sure have a proper name.I bought them from Bunnings when I was looking for something else and they work very well at a fraction of the price I would pay for the 'proper' tool.
