Master Seafood Prep by Using the Right Tools, But First This

We’ve learned that many people are intimidated by the idea of cooking seafood at home.

One component that seems like a deterrent is having to clean, declaw, or otherwise prepare the seafood. 

Sometimes it’s just a matter of not having the time to shell shrimp, prepare fresh-caught fish, or whatever might be involved to create the seafood dish you are preparing. 

However, if you want great seafood without the hassle, we’ve got you covered! 

Many people are a bit awed the first time they see our retail counters. In addition to the great volume of fresh selections, you’ll find that many items are ready to cook as is. For example, you can buy fresh deveined shrimp here as well as fresh jumbo lump crab meat and much more. 

Seafood Tools for At-Home Chefs

Once you start using basic tools for preparing delicious seafood recipes, it can even make preparation fun! What’s better than having the right tool at the right time in the kitchen? We know the answer to that. It’s using the right tools for the best seafood recipes! 

Shrimp Deveiner

Shrimp is the most popular seafood, even though shelling and deveining them requires lots of elbow grease. You can get a shrimp deveiner that gives you a solid grip on this slippery little seafood delight. A quality shrimp deveiner can help you remove the shell and the dark vein (aka the intestinal tract) with ease. 

Seafood Scissors

There are kitchen scissors for various purposes, such as cutting up poultry. Seafood scissors are specially designed to slice through tough shells. They have curved blades that make it easier to remove shells from crab, lobster, and shrimp. Some seafood scissors have an added feature useful for cracking crab legs and lobster claws.

Oyster Knife

If you get some shucking gloves to protect your hands, a nifty oyster knife can make it easy to pry open a tight oyster, mussel, or clam. The special design of the knife also makes it easy to loosen the briny seafood inside.

Lobster Cracker & Seafood Pick

Add a sturdy lobster cracker to your collection of seafood tools. It makes getting to crab and lobster meat no problem. Seafood picks also make it easy to dig out the sweet meat! There is a spoon end of seafood picks that can scoop the delectable meats out of the tiniest of crevices.
