ABSTRACT:
A device for cleaning crustaceans having slender, elongated bodies includes an elongated body having a tapered portion at one end, a deheading portion at another end, and a handle adjacent to the deheading portion. The tapered portion has an arcuate section and is adapted for lengthwise insertion into the body of the crustacean through the channel that contains the sand vein of the crustacean, and is further adapted to rupture the shell of the crustacean upon insertion. The deheading portion includes a cutting edge that is perpendicular to the length of the body of the device. A deveining means is disposed on a side of the tapered portion that includes the inside of the arcuate section. The deveining means includes an elongated ridge, wherein a portion of the ridge adjacent to an end of the device is parallel to a bilateral plane which divides the body of the device, and another portion of the ridge is skewed to one or the other side of the plane. A process for cleaning crustaceans with the inventive device is also provided.
