Yes, that's what my daughter tells me, and I always think of that great scene in Annie Hall when it's time to cook them. To me, eating raw shellfish would seem to be more "gross" to vegetarians, as the shellfish is still alive... I think I'll stop here in the interest of propriety.

One of our friends roasted a pig at a big barbecue yard party. I wasn't a vegetarian then (but I've always leaned that way since about 1975). ANYWAY, the roasting pig was definitely a sight to see and I'm not sure I'd recommend it for genteel western social gatherings. I couldn't even begin to describe it in terms that won't seem gross. The pig was not on a spit, but in a rotating cage. It would catch fire periodically pouring copious amounts of fat onto the coals. I passed on the delicacy, though I'm sure it was good. Just a little too close to the source. I felt almost on a first name basis with it. I can eat crayfish, shrimp, clams, oysters, lobsters and crabs with some emotional distance but even then I kind of feel sorry for them thinking about what their last moments on earth are like. Sigh.
