CA 2244240

A utensil (10) is provided for facilitating the opening and removal of meat from crab legs or other types of shellfish. The utensil (10) has an elongated handle (20) portion and a bifurcated head section (30) joined to the handle portion and provided with separate elongated first and second tine segments (32 and 34) disposed in spaced, directly opposed, generally parallel relationship with the space therebetween being no greater than about twice the normal thickness of the shell of the shellfish. The first tine segment (32) has a relatively wide planar surface facing a relatively narrow, toothed surface (54) of the second tine segment (34). The toothed second tine (34) is first slipped under the shell of the shellfish and the utensil is oscillated up and down to sever the shell and expose the meat for ready removal.

Cette invention concerne un ustensile (10) qui facilite l'ouverture de crustacés et le retrait de la chair des pinces de crabes ou autres types de crustacés. Cet ustensile (10) comporte une partie oblongue faisant office de manche (20) et une tête en fourche (30) reliée au manche. La tête en fourche de l'ustensile comporte un premier et un second segments oblongs, séparés, constituant les fourchons (32 et 34) disposés à distance, en opposition directe et de manière sensiblement parallèle, l'espace existant entre ces deux segments n'étant pas supérieur à environ deux fois l'épaisseur normale de la coquille d'un crustacé. Le premier segment faisant office de fourchon (32) possède une surface plane relativement large qui fait face à une surface dentée (54), relativement étroite du second segment faisant office de fourchon (34). On glisse tout d'abord le second fourchon denté (34) sous la coquille du crustacé puis on effectue avec l'ustensile un mouvement de va-et-vient de façon à détacher la coquille et exposer la chair qui est ainsi facilement accessible.
