ABSTRACT:
A declustering component breaks clusters of oysters into individual oysters and an opening component separates oyster half shells thereby exposing the meat of the oysters. The declustering component includes a rotatable drum having a feed opening for oyster clusters and slots which permit only single oysters to leave the drum. The opening component includes mechanical means for disconnecting the oyster half shells by applying opposed shearing forces adjacent to the shell joint.
