Abstract:
1. A seafood meat extraction tool comprising: a pair of elongated members that are generally parallel with one another, and connect at a juncture, which imposes a biasing force such that the elongated tongs may be squeezed towards one another; wherein a handle member extends in an opposing direction with respect to the elongated tongs; wherein the elongated tongs each include a pointed member that is configured to grab and/or skewer meat; wherein the pair of elongated tongs are of equal in size and shape, and which are generally parallel with one another; wherein the elongated tongs are further defined with a distal end at which the pointed member extends inwardly at an angle; wherein the pointed member includes at least one sharpened point that is ideal for skewering meat thereon; wherein the pointed member is further defined with an inner surface that is adorned with at least one raised protuberance; wherein the raised protuberances of the pointed members face one another such that when in use, the raised protuberances add gripping value; wherein the elongated tongs have a tong length, and connect at a juncture; wherein the elongated tongs are further defined with an outer surface that is provided with a non-slip member that provides a means with which to grab and manipulate the seafood meat extraction tool; wherein the handle member that extends rearwardly from the juncture such that the elongated tongs extend forwardly; wherein the juncture forms a “Y” shape between the elongated tongs and the handle member; wherein the juncture forms an acute juncture angle with respect to the elongated tongs and the handle member; wherein the handle member is of an undefined length, and has the same width as the elongated tongs; wherein the handle member includes a pry member that is opposite of the juncture; wherein the pry member forms a pry angle with respect to the handle member; wherein the pry member is included in order for the seafood meat extraction tool to be used to pry open a closed crustacean; wherein the pry member is ideally used to open the closed crustacean, and upon which the pointed members are manipulated in order to skewer and/or grab the meat contained therein; wherein the pry member is spoon-shaped; wherein the meat extraction tool is used to remove meat from a crab leg; wherein the elongated tongs are generally slim in profile, and enable the pointed members to slide in between the meat and the shell of the crab leg.
