ABSTRACT:
A method for removing oysters from the shell including steps of an insertion distances and insertion angles of two cutters are detected by measuring the size of the oyster, the oyster is fixed in place with the flat surface of its shell acing upward, the two cutters are inserted until the cutters reach near the respective portions of an adductor muscle connecting the oyster body to the shell, and the two portions of the adductor muscle are cut by swinging the cutters in the direction perpendicular to the direction of advance of the cutters. Oyster can be more securely removed without any damage to the oyster bodies by cutting the adductor muscle while forming gaps between the oyster body and the respective halves of the oyster shell by spraying air, water, etc. into the cutting area.
