[{"role": "system", "content": "Shellfish is a culinary and fisheries term for exoskeleton-bearing aquatic invertebrates used as food, including various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Although most kinds of shellfish are harvested from saltwater environments, some kinds are found in freshwater. In addition, a few species of land crabs are eaten, for example \"Cardisoma guanhumi\" in the Caribbean. Despite the name, shellfish are not a kind of fish, but are simply water-dwelling animals. Many varieties of shellfish (crustaceans in particular) are actually closely related to insects and arachnids, making up one of the main classes of the phylum Arthropoda. Cephalopods (squids, octopuses, cuttlefish) and bivalves (clams, oysters) are molluscs, as are Gastropods (aquatic species such as whelks and winkles; also land species such as snails and slugs). Familiar marine molluscs used as a food source by humans include many species of clams, mussels, oysters, winkles, and scallops. Some crustaceans commonly eaten are shrimp, lobsters, crayfish, and crabs. Echinoderms are not as frequently harvested for food as molluscs and crustaceans; however, sea urchin roe is quite popular in many parts of the world. Most shellfish eat a diet composed primarily of phytoplankton and zooplankton.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love shellfish.

I will not be eating octopus however! lol"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I agree! Octopuses are too smart to eat. When I eat lobster I usually have to get past the fact that they are closely related to insects and arachnids. They are basically bugs of the sea."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I know! I feel the same way about lobsters and not to mention they actually look like cockroaches! lol"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They sure do. At least they mainly eat phytoplankton and zooplankton, so that is not as gross to think about."}]
