What kind of "fancy" are we talking? Old-fashioned fancy? If there's an armoury of cutlery waiting for you, start from the outside, and work your way in as the courses progress.

Or will these places be the "enjoy this single chive sprig that I've lightly dusted with two grains of flame-roasted and then dried chili pepper, dredged and flash-fried in liquid nitrogen" fancy? Because the only etiquette advice I can give for that is, eat a proper meal before you go, and do try not to laugh at the absurdity of it all. If it is the latter type of place, the waiters will probably have to tell you how to eat the food, anyway, as there's usually some "notion" behind it.

The mid-way point between these two extremes is usually A) eat before you go because you still won't get enough food and B) the food will be fancy/decoratively arranged, but you should have normal cutlery, and be able to eat in a reasonable manner.

(A) has almost never been my experience, and I am a reasonably hungry fat dude who has eaten at a fair number of fancy and high-end restaurants

OP, if you're still reading, my experience with fancy-ish restaurants (pretty much all in the Gordon Ramsay group, FWIW) has been that the portions are small because the food is rich. I'm not a huge eater, but I didn't eat for hours before going, and it was a struggle to finish all the courses.
