==Religious dietary restrictions==
{{further|Jewish dietary laws}}

The [[Torah]] forbids the consumption of shellfish (i.e. the only permitted seafood is fish with fins and scales), in the books of [[Leviticus]] and [[Deuteronomy]].<ref>{{bibleverse||Leviticus|11:9-12|31}}</ref> Jews (of all religious traditions) who fully observe the dietary laws thus do not eat shellfish, neither do [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventists]], who also follow Jewish dietary law.

[[Shia Islam]]ic schools of thought vary on whether (and which types of) shellfish may be acceptable.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01251/|title=Question and Answer: Meat}}</ref> [[Sunni Islam|Sunni Muslims]], except Hanafis, view them as [[halal]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://fiqh.islamonline.net/%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%85-%D8%A3%D9%83%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%82%D8%B9/|title=حكم أكل القواقع}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://islamqa.info/ar/answers/114855/%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%B2%D9%88%D9%86-%D9%88%D9%87%D9%84-%D9%8A%D8%AC%D9%88%D8%B2-%D8%B7%D8%A8%D8%AE%D9%87-%D8%AD%D9%8A%D8%A7|title=حكم أكل " الحلزون " ، وهل يجوز طبخه حيّاً؟}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Is Seafood Halal Or Haram?
