The question

I heard that shellfish eat dead fish. Is this toxic to our body?

The answer

From a medical perspective, shellfish is believed to be less healthy than fish. Some people have reactions to shellfish, but many people also do not suffer serious illnesses from consuming shellfish. You should discuss this with your personal physician.
