From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Flesh-hook
     a many-pronged fork used in the sacrificial services (1 Sam.
     2:13, 14; Ex. 27:3; 38:3) by the priest in drawing away the
     flesh. The fat of the sacrifice, together with the breast and
     shoulder (Lev. 7:29-34), were presented by the worshipper to the
     priest. The fat was burned on the alter (3:3-5), and the breast


     and shoulder became the portion of the priests. But Hophni and
     Phinehas, not content with this, sent a servant to seize with a
     flesh-hook a further portion.
