What's On Your Plate???

Calamari is never on my no list. It is not a shellfish

Actually, squid are considered shellfish, in a culinary sense. Oysters, mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp, prawns, lobsters, crawfish, crabs, cuttlefish, octopus, squid, and others are considered shellfish, lacking bones and scales.

Biologically, the relationship is very, very distant. Shrimp, crab, lobster, crawfish are crustaceans under the class Malacostraca, which is under the phylum Arthropoda, which also includes insects and spiders.

Squid, cuttlefish, and octopus are under the class Cephalopoda, which is under the phylum Mollusca, which also includes bivalves like oysters, mussels, clams, and scallops.

Really, you have to go to the next level above phylum, which is kingdom, to find the common rank for squid and shrimp of Animalia. Which also includes us.

So, oysters and scallops are much more closely related to squid than are the shrimp that you're allergic to...

Do you look all this up on the fly, or is all this info just banging around in your head?

For that one, maybe 50/50. Knew it was like that, reference to double-check and ensure correct names/spellings...

So, font of occasionally wiki-enhanced useless knowledge then? Not a criticism, I do that myself - knowing where to start is half the point.

Most definitely; I love the information age...

I am just glad that I am not allergic to calamari, @kronin323. Trying to incite panic in your FOUKERY
