ABSTRACT:
A seafood dressing tool includes a pair of pivotally interconnected lever members, the lever members forming a pair of grips or handles on one of their ends and a pair of curved, slender blades on their other ends. One lever member forms the lower grip or handle and the upper blade, and the other or second lever member forms the upper grip or handle and the lower blade. The blades curve downwardly with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the tool when oriented for normal use. The lower blade has a relatively sharp upper knife edge, and the upper blade has a lower edge cooperable with the upper knife edge of the lower blade for effecting scissors-like cutting action when the handles or grips are squeezed closed toward one another. The lower blade is adapted for insertion longitudinally into the body of a headless shrimp at its proximal end when the blades are in an open position, with the upper blade then being superposed along the shrimp's back. The lower blade is inserted into the shrimp until it nearly reaches, but stops short of, the shrimp's tail. When the blades are closed, the blade action is adapted for snipping the body and shell of the shrimp transversely from the shrimp's back to its midportion along its length, again stopping short of the tail.
