Product Description Get straight to the good stuff with the OXO seafood set. It includes a seafood cracker and four stainless steel seafood picks, each with soft, non-slip grips, to help you extract the rich, buttery meat from lobsters and crabs. Limited lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review This seafood set by Oxo is the ultimate resource when tackling a feast from the sea. With three different shelling surfaces and solid zinc construction, the cracker can handle the job--whether it's wrestling a stubborn crab shell or splitting open a large lobster claw. Its oversize, nonslip rubber handles absorb the tension as you squeeze them. The set of four seafood picks feature a spooned end for scooping and a tined end for picking--so every nook and cranny of your favorite shellfish can be scoured clean. The cracker and picks are dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

nice set June 15, 2010 dentrecords (Ottawa) A very nice set - the only complaint I would have would be not so much a complaint but an observation that the cracker is seemingly designed for larger shells. It is not as effective for smaller pieces unless you place them and attempt to hold them in place right in the middle of the unit where the two pads come together and actually make contact. It is very heavy duty and comfortable though and does just fine. The only modification I'd recommend to OXO would be to design the cracker to come closer together at the hinged end. I'd still get it again though if anything happened to it.
Haven't used them yet May 24, 2010 Carri (Tennessee) I haven't used them yet but sure hope they are better than having to use a pliers and pick to get the meat out of shell fish.
Makes eating crabs more enjoyable May 12, 2009 amazon_4_everything (NY, USA) My husband and I love eating crabs at home but are really lazy about getting out all the meat from the crabs. With tools like these, we don't have to work so hard to break the crab shell/legs and get to yummy bits. Plus, I don't waste as much of the crab meat now whereas in the past, I would have just given up and not eat all of the meat because I couldn't get to it.
A must-have for the seafood lover... November 14, 2008 Lorenzo Like most Oxo products, this seafood set is of excellent quality.
It also turns out to be very handy when you need to deal with claws: first you crack them and then you extract the juicy meat with the tiny forks, which have two different tips: a fork and a spatula.
And it also handles the dishwasher very well.
Functional and Stylish! July 14, 2008 M. Choi (New York, NY) I cook a lot of Alaskan King Crab Legs so was looking for something to give my hands a break. First of all, these look great, sleek silver with black rubber grips. The crackers feel solid in the hand and are easy to grip. They worked well in breaking up different sized crab legs. The little scoopers make it convenient to get the meat out of the hard to reach areas.
I would have to concur with an earlier reviewer that the package is a big pain to open. I literally had to use a big cutting knife to get everything out. Once you get past that though, nothing but quality.
