Is there a scientific name for shellfish not the fish but the family?

There is no specific scientific name for shellfish because shellfish is a non-scientific way of describing a large number of invertibrate food items such as lobster, scallops, muscles and shrimp. Mostly 'shellfish' are either molluscs or crustaceans.
