ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for scoring unshelled crab claws to facilitate the removal of a portion of the shell and expose the meat including a frame rotatably carrying a pair of opposed jaws which clampingly hold a crab claw and rotate it against a camming surface of a depth gauge located adjacent a cutter, such as the blade of a standard meat cutting band saw. As the crab claw is rotated, the saw blade cuts a circumferential score through the shell. The frame is tiltable towards the cutter for scoring and away from the cutter for loading and unloading a crab claw into and from the jaws. A switch mounted on the frame energizes an electrical motor drivingly connected to the jaws as the frame is tilted towards the scoring position and de-energizes the motor as the frame is tilted toward the loading or unloading position, thereby providing automatic on-off rotation of the jaws.
