The Tovolo Seafood Snips handle lobster, crab and shrimp from shell to plate in one tool. Heavy-duty stainless steel blades cut through lobster shells and crab legs with controlled force. For the toughest shells, open the handles and set the shell between the serrated steel sections inside, then squeeze to crack it. The slender curved blades then slide beneath the cracked shell and cut through it without crushing the meat underneath. On shrimp, the curved tip follows the back of each one and pushes the vein out as you snip, which speeds up deveining a big batch. The pointed tip reaches into lobster tails and crab legs to pull meat free. Easy-grip capri blue handles give secure, comfortable control, and the BPA-free shears are dishwasher safe.
