[edit] Crustaceans vs. shellfish

Aren't crustaceans included in shellfish? The page on shellfish says they are.... Asbruckman 19:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

That page (shellfish) says, right at the beginning, "See The Maryland Department of the Environment's page[1] for a discussion on why shrimp, crab, and lobster are not categorized as "shellfish."" Then immediately mentions that lobster et al. are eaten as shellfish. It's probably a question of definition, like the botanical vs. culinary definitions of fruit and vegetables. digfarenough (talk) 00:50, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
