crab fork

Crustacean meat extractor

A crab fork is a small, narrow utensil with two or three tines, designed to extract meat from crab shells and claws.

The long, slender handle reaches into tight spaces where fingers and regular forks cannot.

Similar picks are used for lobster and other shellfish.
