Abstract
A crawfish shelling tool including a handle, and a wire extending outwardly from one end of the handle. The wire has a generally U-shaped configuration. A closed end of the U-shaped configuration is opposite the handle. The wire is a high-tensile strength steel wire having a diameter of no more than 1/32 of an inch. The wire has a first side extending outwardly from an end of the handle, and a second side extending outwardly from the end of the handle. The second side is in coplanar relationship with the first side. The closed end is a curved end which connects an end of the first side with an end of the second side. The curved end forms an approximately 180.degree. curve. The first side and the second side taper inwardly toward the curved end.
