Can I get an extra fork please means you already have one fork and you want one more.
Can I get another fork please means you already have one fork but it may be dirty for example and you wish to have it exchanged for a clean one.

another fork is the usual version since “extra...” is usually used for food/drinks (so like “Can i get some extra cheese sauce on it?”)
