why dont people eat shellfish for protien?

[UNDERTAKER]

I always wondered this. I eat shrimp twice week. It it cuz of the cholesterol? I just get sick of chicken

Cost prohibitive and location. Also, shellfish have been indicated as a cause for rises in uric acid levels which can lead to gout. So, individuals with joint problems may want to stay away.

[UNDERTAKER]

Location? Yes, they are pricey. The protien content is easily disgestible like in chicken, corrrect? Or else I am gonna stop eating them.

Yes, the protein is fine. However, if I did not live near a large body of water, I would never eat shellfish.

It's just a cost factor for me. I love shellfish but for a full meal it gets very pricey.

I'd say cost. Shellfish is pricey and to buy large amounts like most of us do already the bill would be astronomical.
