Istifta 103 — Eating & drinking

Is it permissible to eat lobster, crayfish, and snails?
Answer
Is it not permissible to eat from marine animals anything except fish that has scale; shrimp is considered from that category [of permissible sea animals]. But other than fish, like lobster, and similarly the fish that does not have scale is forbidden. Allah knows the best.
