eating shellfish
Dining on mollusks
Eating shellfish refers to consuming crustaceans and mollusks—crabs, lobsters, shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels.
The phrase often appears in religious contexts, since Leviticus prohibits it alongside other dietary laws: The Bible says eating shellfish is an abomination.
This makes it a common reference point in debates about selective scriptural interpretation.
