"crustaceans and mollusks " You know the rule about only be eating shellfish, especially oysters, in months with the letter R? It might have to do with algae making them toxic. We were just there with crabs. Here's What You Need to Know About the West Coast's Toxic Crabs Also, Yet these may you eat of every winged swarming thing that goes upon four, which have legs above their feet to leap with upon the earth. These of them you may eat: the locust (arbeh) after its kind, and the sal?am after its kind, and the ?argol after its kind, and the ?agav after its kind. [2] – Leviticus 11:21-22 Why?

The only Jews who take that seriously are the Orthodox and they comprise 12% of Jews in NYC (according to Bloomberg News). On the West coast, that number goes down quite a bit, I presume. Even people who are religious and wear Yamikas, like myself sometimes, don't take that seriously. I eat what I like. I couldn't care less if its kosher or not. Now, of course, I don't eat red meat, pork or cheese, for health reasons. But I eat oysters, clams, lobster and shrimp once in a while. I love lobster; it's very healthy for you. Where I differ from the Bible crowd, is that I take it as merely an interpretation of the word of God and not the direct manifestation of G-d's word. Prayer, trust and faith is what religion is all about. In Judaism, what matters most is being a good human being and treating people wonderfully, as ends, and not merely as means. As for whether a person is religious or not, I couldn't care less. It's their actions or behavior that I focus on.
