afishyfish 4 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Is a crab a shellfish or a crustacean though I always thought it was the 2nd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GlenW 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Is a crab a shellfish or a crustacean though I always thought it was the 2nd I think you're right afishyfish. Here's a quote from wiki:The term shellfish is used both broadly and specifically. In common parlance' date=' as in having "shellfish" for dinner, it can refer to anything from clams and oysters to lobster and shrimp. For regulatory purposes it is often narrowly defined as filter-feeding molluscs such as clams, mussels, and oyster to the exclusion of crustaceans and all else[/quote']At a guess I would say that a crab is not a shellfish as it's not a filter feeder. Happy to be corrected though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeykebab 175 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 i stand corrected then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
