hello, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.

but a question has always plagued me.

You always hear it is a sin to murder, it is a sin to hate people (always with exceptions), it is a sin to like children, it's a sin to steal, etc. etc. etc.

But why is it a sin to eat shellfish?

It's just one of those things you're not supposed to do. My question is why doesn't anyone pay attention to it and boycott places like Red Lobster and other resturants that serve seafood?

It's not a sin to eat shellfish unless you follow the Jewish and Muslim dietary laws. Christians don't and don't need to.
