<p>The specification describes a method and apparatus for processing bivalve shellfish, particularly scallops. The two shells are first parted by a small amount and a cutting tool is inserted to detach the shellfish from one of the shells. The two shells are then separated. The shell having the shellfish attached is rotated about an axis passing through the centre of the edible portion and the offal is cut or blown away from the edible portion and is thrown centrifugally away. The edible portion is then recovered. -1a-</p> |
