For me, seafood needs to have fins and scales.

Para mi, el marisco necesita tener Aletas y escamas pescados.

Debo tener cuidado cuando marisco es en un menu. No puedo comer langosta, canrejos o gambas, porque soy alérgica a los crustáceos. No hay problemas con pescado o ostras, son diferentes tipos de marisco y no me hacen enferma.

I must be careful when seafood is on a menu. I can't eat lobster, crabs or prawns because I am allergic to crustaceans. There are no problems with fish or oysters, they are different types of seafood and don't make me sick.

I've heard that a lot of people are allergic to them One of the signs is that your ears turn bright red. Certain brands of beer do that to me lol - 0095ca4c, Oct 7, 2013
I don't know about the ears. In my case I just stop breathing! - jennysk, Oct 7, 2013

El marisco es bueno si no puede obtener la carne.

Seafood is good if you can't get meat.
