Baltimore, MD – May 22, 2025 – Maryland’s own crab-eating legend, Tommy Scherr, is turning his passion for seafood into a product that’s cracking open the competition—literally. After earning TV fame as a multi-year crab-eating champion and featured in many magazines as a ‘Crab Eating Specialist’, Scherr has announced the official launch of his innovative new product: the Seafood Opener, designed to make eating crabs, lobsters, and shellfish faster, cleaner, and more enjoyable for everyone.
Seafood lovers can now experience the thrill of expertly cracking open shells without the mess or frustration. Whether you’re a seasoned crab picker or just getting your feet wet, the Seafood Opener is a game-changing tool that simplifies and speeds up the process while preserving the juicy, delicious meat inside.
“I’ve cracked thousands of crabs over the years—by hand, with mallets, nutcrackers, you name it. Nothing worked the way I wanted. So I built it.” says Scherr. “This opener is for every seafood lover who’s ever struggled with a claw, made a mess, or lost meat in the battle.”
The Seafood Opener features a patented design with a precision edge and ergonomic grip that makes it safe and effective for both adults and kids. It effortlessly opens crab shells while keeping your hands clean and your crab meat intact. Perfect for backyard crab feasts, seafood restaurants, or summer festivals, it’s a must-have for any crab connoisseur or beach goer.
How did this all start? “Year after year, Dad and I won First Place cash prizes, trophies and plaques at crab eating contests. The last tournament I was in, I opened and ate 74 crabs in one hour,” Tommy explains. “I like to say I’m just a few credits short of my degree in Crabology.”
The Seafood Opener levels the playing field—it brings families and friends together to enjoy the best part of Maryland’s tradition without the hassle. Who wouldn’t want to be able to pick and eat a crab in under a minute?
To celebrate the launch of his crab eating tool, Tommy Scherr will be appearing at seafood festivals, farmers markets, and crab shacks around Maryland, offering live demonstrations. The Seafood Opener is now available for purchase at www.SeafoodOpener.com. Bulk orders and wholesale inquiries are also welcome.
Whether you’re at a crab feast on the Chesapeake Bay, tailgating before an O’s game, or hosting a family boil, Tommy Scherr’s Seafood Opener is the ultimate tool for mastering your next meal. Maryland crabs just met their match.
