ABSTRACT An automated, self-contained apparatus for extracting meat from the appendages of crustaceans, such as crabs, the appendages having been severed from the body and cooked. The device includes a plurality of stations which recover and collect the meat in the appendages as well as dispose of the empty shell. The appendages are placed in radially extending recesses of a circular motor driven platter, the platter being used to transport the appendages from station to station. The appendages pass through a cutting station which removes the end of each appendage so that there is an opening large enough to allow the meat to be expelled and recovered when pressurized air is injected into the appendage at the third station, the meat extracting station. Pressurized air is also utilized at a second station to blow the appendage into its preferred position in its recess, and at the fourth station, the shell ejectment station, to remove the empty shells from the platter.
