A shrimp processing machine including shrimp feeding, deheading, deveining and shell-slitting, shell-removing, and shrimp grading stations arranged along a path on several superposed levels with means to transport and properly orient shrimp from one level to another. A feed conveyor is used having troughs with a movable wall to clamp shrimp firmly during deheading, and brushes are used to eject deheaded shrimp from the conveyor. After shell-slitting and deveining, the shrimp are transferred from one level to another while being pressed into a converging throat between oppositely rotating rollers which grip and remove the shell from the meat. The processed meat is then carried along the grading station where it is removed according to size.
