30. Oysters!
Raw, fried, or any other way. Out of season now, but the Gulf has plenty of shrimp--my second favorite. I've never had much lobster--they must be flown in & they are tired.

Prawns are larger shrimp, often with a big pair of claws. But definitions vary according to region.

35. crabs, shrimp, and lobsters are NOT shellfish...
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 09:31 AM by mike_c
...fer cryin' out loud. They're arthropods. They have chitinous exoskeletons, not shells! You can shuck an oyster, but you can't shuck a crab!

42. Nah...Kosher law prohibits eating anything from the sea
that lacks either scales or fins, regardless of what we're calling them.

Still...most Jews I know order mu shu pork at the Chinese restaurant on Christmas, so, yeah...
