Abstract
Apparatus for vibrating edible crab meat from the core portion of a crab body that has been de-shelled, de-legged and de-fingered and the central core portion of which has been cleaned. The crab body is supported in a core box with the body cavity directed downwardly opposite a discharge opening formed in the bottom of the core box, whereupon the core box is vibrated at about 1500 to 5000 vibrations per minute to shake the crab meat from the core and to deposit the meat particles on an endless conveyor that travels therebeneath. Preferably the core box bottom contains a plurality of pockets having walls converging toward the discharge openings, the crab cores being held in place by suitable cushion.
