A lot of reasons. Shellfish spoil easily and can make people sick. Some people are deathly allergic to shellfish. Also most shellfish are filter feeders meaning they eat whatever floats to them in the water's current and can contain dangerous amounts of heavy metals (like Mercury or lead) which are deadly.
