ABSTRACT:
A hand manipulable device for removing the intestine or "vein" from the tall of crustaceans such as shrimp or the like. The device includes means to pierce the body or "tail" of the shrimp, blocking means to prevent overpenetration, pressing means, gripping means for gripping the vein of the shrimp, and handle means for gripping the device. The exemplary embodiment of the present invention is in the general form a pincer for gripping and lifting the vein from the shrimp tail. A new and unique method of deveining crustaceans utilizes a heretofore undisclosed pulling action, as compared to the pushing action disclosed in the prior art. The present invention teaches a superior device and method which work with any size shrimp, will not mutilate the shrimp, can be used with shelled or unshelled shrimp, and remove the whole vein in a consistent manner from uncooked shrimp with ease.
