Yes, there is a special spoon, but I've not seen one for years. The bowl is usually just a little smaller than a tablespoon and is more rounded, sometimes the bowl is decorated or fluted, somewhat like a fruit spoon. the handle is very short, often about half the length of the bowl and even more often with the logo of some seaside town on it. A one tablespoon measuring spoon would make a good substitute, you know, one of those cheap aluminum ones.
