Abstract: Apparatus for cutting through seafood shell includes a first and second elongated member. The first member includes a handle portion disposed at a first end thereof and a jaw like portion disposed at a radially opposed end. The jaw like portion includes each of a relatively pointed nose and a relatively sharp tapered portion having a plurality of serrations disposed on an upper surface which extend from the nose back toward the handle for assisting in cutting through such shell. The second member includes a handle portion disposed at a first end thereof and a jaw like portion disposed at a radially opposed end. The jaw like portion includes each of a relatively blunt arcuately shaped nose portion and a relatively wide gripping portion for cooperating with the first jaw portion in cutting through such shell of such seafood. There is a first mechanism engageable with each of the first and second members intermediate each end thereof for pivotably connecting them together.
