What's this utensil called?

[Rich1973]

And where can I find one?

I have one and my mum has one. Mine is still in great condition but her plating is coming off.

They are probably 40 - 50 years old but very useful for what they are. I will buy her a replacement for Christmas as a stocking filler if I can find one. Normal fork for scale.

Draining spoon or slotted spatula.

You can buy them anywhere, including Amazon.

Also Fish slice.

That fork - rather impressive to have 4 unequal length tines!

Google image search suggests it’s hors d'oeuvre/petit four cutlery…

Maybe a bit much for a stocking filler?

Thanks for the replies so far. I have looked at the suggestions offered and nothing so far is like for like. I am looking for a direct replacement. Interesting observation re the fork. Can't say as I have ever noticed. It had come from my departed grandparents so could be reasonably old. The end of the tines follow an off centee arc when looked at closely.

My missus thinks it's something to do with butter curles.

It's a Vintage Sepelia Dessert Serving Spatula. Have a look on eBay.

[Milkyway]

Have it replated... it would be just like new.

aka a fish slice made at the Sipelia Works in Sheffield:

The American seller spelt the name wrong and misidentified it, a dessert server is usually more pointy for lifting slices and doesn't need slots for juices to drain through.

Thanks everybody for your help especially 48k and Riley Blue who are on the money. Finding one now may be the challenge and that's a great suggestion Milky Way about replating.

Thats what i thought at first but the size of it changed my mind.

[Mobile Chicane]

It is an asparagus server - note the shape. Most are quite fancy:
