Acts Chapter 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

Do muslims eat shellfish?
Anon sees so many similarities between Judaism and Islam
that it's difficult not to say they came from the same ancient school of thought.
It depends on the Islamic school of thought (madhhab) that a Muslim follows, as there is no single universal rule across all Muslims regarding shellfish (like shrimp/prawns, crabs, lobsters, oysters, clams, mussels, etc.).The Quran (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:96) states that "the game of the sea and its food" is made lawful, which many interpret broadly as permitting most or all seafood.However, scholarly interpretations differ:In the majority of Sunni schools (Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali), all shellfish and seafood are generally considered halal (permissible), with few exceptions (like crocodiles, frogs, otters, or turtles in some views).
In the Hanafi school (common among Muslims in South Asia, Turkey, and parts of the Balkans), only true "fish" (often defined as creatures with scales) are halal. Most shellfish are considered makruh (disliked) or haram (forbidden). Shrimp/prawns are a gray area—some Hanafi scholars allow them (treating them as "fish" historically), while others avoid them.
Among Shia Muslims (following Ja'fari jurisprudence), typically only fish with scales and shrimp/prawns are halal. Other shellfish (crabs, lobsters, oysters, etc.) are usually considered haram.
In practice:Many Muslims worldwide (especially in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and among non-Hanafi Sunnis) regularly eat shellfish like shrimp, crab, and lobster.
Hanafi or certain Shia Muslims may avoid most or all shellfish.
Perhaps a big slice of bacon in front of the bull would do the trick?
