Crustastun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crustastun is a device manufactured by a company in England. It is designed to administer a lethal electric shock to shellfish (such as lobsters, crabs, and crayfish) before cooking, to avoid boiling a live shellfish and causing it undue pain. The device works by applying a 110 volt, 2-5 amp electrical charge to a shellfish.
The inventor of the device, Simon Buckhaven, worked for two years with scientists from the University of Bristol to develop the device, at an estimated cost of £2,000.
