Traditional Judaism follows the law as prescribed in the Torah; the first five books of The Bible. The law regarding shellfish is found in the books of Leviticus, 11:9 and Deuteronomy 14:9 which say: "Of the things that are in the waters, you may eat anything that has fins and scales." This excludes shellfish, which therefore, may not be eaten.

What is cause of ammonia smell in shellfish?

The ammonia smell in shellfish typically indicates spoilage or decomposition. When shellfish die, bacteria begin to break down their tissues, leading to the production of ammonia as a byproduct. Additionally, if shellfish are not stored properly or are past their prime, they can develop this strong odor, signaling that they may not be safe to consume. Always ensure shellfish are fresh and properly handled to avoid any health risks.
