As for making citrus zest, Microplane zesters are widely available with different size blades and can do a spectacular job creating fine shreds of zest. Alternatively, you can buy a zester that, pulled along the surface of a piece of citrus, generates strips of zest that you can then chop as finely as you’d like. (See the photo below for an example.)
