Methods are provided for separating the intact shell of hard-shelled crustaceans from the raw edible meat contained therein which is very strongly attached to the shells. The methods each include the first step of initiating the detachment of the raw edible meat from the intact shell by the step of subjecting the intact shell to at least one freeze-thaw cycle, where the thawing is carried out in cold water or cold brine to minimize deterioration of the flavour of the crustacean meat. Then the intact shell is separated from the raw edible meat by several different alternative steps. One alternative step includes subjecting the so-treated intact shell to vacuum aspiration to separate the intact shell from the raw edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw edible crustacean meat. Another alternative step includes manually separating the intact shell from the raw intact edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw intact edible crustacean meat from the intact shell. These methods are applicable to the recovery of raw edible crustacean meat from underutilized portions of hard-shelled crustaceans. These methods may also be used for the recovery of raw edible intact crustacean meat from hard-to- process hard-shelled crustaceans, e.g., Spiny lobster, Northern Stone crab (Lithodes maja), Porcupine crab (Neolithodes grimaldii), Irish crab (Cancer pagurus) and Jonah crab (Cancer borealis).
