Cooking Shellfish Is Selfish!!!
Hanketcham:
From the discussion above I find 3 ideas very useful for understanding the trouble with eating shellfish. 1) Shell fish is the pig of the sea 2) lobster is a marine version of corkroach 3) Shell fish are scavengers of the sea eating mostly the dirt and dead animals on the sea floor. Come to think of it their diet might include defecations of other sea creatures.
Also, I find very valuable, is the esoteric observation: that whatever we eat will effect us. If we eat peaceful animals (cows goats) we can establish peace and calm within ourselves. If we eat creatures that consume toxins, dead animals, bacteria, defecation, we inculcate chaos and spiritual sickness with in ourselves.
We absorb not just the nutrients from the food, but we also absorb the esoteric, occultic properties in the food source.

I've eaten shark before, it was different but it tasted good. That was several years ago though before I knew it wasn't kosher.

If it's required for survival in life and death situations, that's one thing... but I don't see a lot of starving people eating lobster.
I will never put a sea cockroach into my mouth. It's truly revolting.

Wait, Lobsters scream?
And I agree, lobsters look like massive cockroaches that live in the ocean. I tried it once and everyone at the dinner table was saying how rich and delicious it was, I didn't see the big fuss honestly, it wasn't that great.... it was at some japanese place or something.

Lobsters can't scream. I think the strange sound has something to do with the exosceletton and the rapid ascending of the inner pressure caused by heating.
It works basically like a pressure cooker or a kettle. This causes the sound.
