What kind of sea food Muslims are allowed to eat?

Muslims are allowed to eat seafood that has fins and scales. This is based on the Quran, which states that permissible food includes:

"That which is lawful to you is the game of the sea and its food..." (Quran 5:96)

However, this verse excludes animals that don't have fins and scales, like shellfish, crabs, lobsters, and octopus.

Here's a breakdown of what's permissible and not:

Permissible Seafood:

* Fish: All types of fish with fins and scales, including salmon, tuna, cod, etc.

* Shrimp: Some scholars consider shrimp permissible because they have external shells and are considered crustaceans. However, some consider them haram (forbidden) as they lack scales.

* Squid: As they have fins, they are considered permissible.

Forbidden Seafood:

* Shellfish: Clams, mussels, oysters, etc.

* Crustaceans: Crabs, lobsters, crayfish, etc.

* Octopus: Octopus has no scales or fins, making it haram.

Note: Some Muslims may follow stricter interpretations of Islamic law, so it's always best to consult with a religious authority if you have any doubts about the permissibility of a particular seafood.
