Shellfish have been eaten all over the world for centuries.

They’re rich in lean protein, healthy fats, and minerals. Regularly eating shellfish may boost your immunity, aid weight loss, and promote brain and heart health.

However, shellfish are one of the most common food allergens, and some types may contain contaminants and heavy metals.

This article reviews different types of shellfish, their nutrition, health benefits, and possible dangers.

They can be divided into two groups: crustaceans and mollusks. Crustaceans include shrimp, crayfish, crab, and lobster, while clams, scallops, oysters, and mussels are examples of mollusks (1).

Most shellfish live in saltwater, but the name also refers to species found in freshwater.

Shellfish is available in grocery stores and restaurants all over the world, but some regions are known for certain species. For instance, lobster is a popular food in the Northeast of the United States, while shrimp is a staple in dishes from the South of the country.

Most types of shellfish are eaten steamed, baked, or fried. Some — such as oysters and clams — can be eaten raw or partially cooked. Their flavor ranges from sweet to briny, from subtle to delicate — depending on the type and cooking method.

Shellfish are low in calories and rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. They also contain high amounts of certain micronutrients, including iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B12.

Shellfish are loaded with protein and healthy fats that may aid weight loss. They are also rich in nutrients — omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and zinc — that promote a healthy brain, heart, and immune system.

Shellfish may contain varying levels of heavy metals that can build up in your body and cause health issues. In addition, shellfish can cause foodborne illness and allergic reactions.
