I avoid lobster since it is a delicacy, but it would be difficult for me to make anything my husband would eat if we didn’t use shrimp. I know you all aren’t judging those who do eat shellfish, but I don’t want those who are new to fasting getting the idea that it you are fasting “better” if you skip all shellfish. If you get to the point that your focus is all about the food and not about Christ, that’s not good as well. For us, eating shellfish is one way to help avoid that (though I already struggle with proper focus, even with shellfish).
