PCT No. PCT/AU92/00285 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 13, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 13, 1993 PCT Filed Jun. 12, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/22212 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 23, 1992.Apparatus for mechanically and automatically processing a bivalve shellfish having a first shell (11) an second shell (12) so as to recover an edible portion (30) of the shellfish. The apparatus includes suction cups (55, 56) to part the two shells (11, 12) without completely separating the two shells. Flexible detaching blades (21, 22) enter the space between the two shells and diverge to contact and to follow the inner surfaces (11a, 12a) of the shells to cut the edible portion (30) of the shellfish from both the first shell (11) and the second shell (12) simultaneously. The blades (21, 22) then grip the edible portion to enable recovery thereof and the shells are discarded.
