What’s your favourite kind of shellfish? The term “shellfish” refers to a broad spectrum of different aquatic (water-dwelling) invertebrates, and they aren’t technically fish at all. This category includes things such as oysters, mussels, clams, scallops, and shrimp, all of which are a delectable addition to your table.
It is important to note that shellfish can be trickier to harvest and manage, as they are more prone to carry bacteria and toxins that can cause foodborne illness, especially when consumed raw. This is why it is very important to harvest, store, and prepare shellfish appropriately to avoid getting sick. But this effort is worth it!
