1. A combination utensil for preparing and eating crustaceans comprising: an elongated handle portion having opposing longitudinal ends; a crustacean shell breaking tool extending integrally from a first one of the opposing longitudinal ends; and a fork extending integrally from a second one of the opposing longitudinal ends; wherein the shell breaking tool includes first and second members extending generally longitudinally from the first one of the opposing longitudinal ends of the handler portion and apart from one another so as to define a generally longitudinally extending slot, the first member having an elongated, generally longitudinally extending, generally pointed edge facing the second member across the slot and the second member having a generally broad and generally flat surface extending longitudinally and transversely to the first member and most proximal to and facing the pointed edge of the first member, and wherein a middle portion of the first member, a middle portion of the slot and a middle portion of the second member of the crustacean breaking tool define a central plane of the crustacean breaking tool extending generally along a longitudinal direction of the handle portion, wherein the fork has a width dimension and a thickness dimension perpendicular to the width dimension, the width and thickness dimensions also being at least generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the handle portion, the width dimension of the fork being greater than the thickness dimension of the fork, and the thickness dimension of the fork extending in a direction substantially parallel to the central plane of the crustacean breaking tool.
