Abstract
Scallops are shucked by being placed on scallop cradles moving along an endless flexible member and a hinged portion of the scallop shell and an opposed portion thereto are sawn from the remainder, to expose the interior, while the scallops are held in the cradles by an endless flexible member. The sawn scallops are then held in the cradles by clamping fingers engaging the bottom shells so that when the shells are inverted a high pressure water jet severs the muscle allowing what was the top shell to fall away, then a series of low pressure water jets detach the viscera and roe, followed by a high pressure fan jet which detaches the muscle.
