A cultured mussel cleaning machine (10) for cleaning fragile shelled mussels, the machine (10) having a first staged (12) and a second stage (14). The first stage (12) includes a cylindrical container (16) in which is mounted a series of rotating chains (48) and flexible, abrasive gloves (56) that break apart and clean mussels (70) as they move from a loading chute (34) to a drain (72) by the force of pressurized water (68). Mussels (70) exiting the first stage (12) enter the second stage (14) where they travel down an inclined series of abrasive rollers (106). The mussels (70) are gently pressed against the abrasive rollers (106) by compressible material (112) formed on the underside (110) of a lid (84) placed over the rollers (106). The cleaned mussels (70) pass over a second drain (116) and into a container (120). The second stage (14) is detachable from the first stage (12) for remote operation where the rollers (106) are powered by a manual crank (134).
