First of all, Protista is a kingdom, not a phylum. But there are over 24 Phyla in this kingdom. What makes protists different from other kingdoms is that they are unicellular, have a nucleus in their cells, they have no cell wall,, and they can be hetertrophs or autotrophs.

Lobsters are not fish. Fish are part of the phylum Chordata, along with other backboned animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), and lobsters are arthropods (phylum Arthropoda :P), having no backbone and being completely unrelated (very much related to insects in fact). Lobsters have ten jointed legs and a hard carapace.
