> You'll notice I added four "food" emojis: the crab, shrimp, squid, and lobster. I have no idea why they were assigned "food-marine" instead of "animal-marine". They look happy, healthy, and uncooked.

On Apple platforms, at least, all the crustaceans mentioned are red and therefore look very much cooked.

You can, however, eat crab, shrimp, squid and lobster without cooking them...

If these animals are eaten raw after "it has been frozen at -18’C for a minimum period of 14 days". AKA "sashimi quality"

Otherwise you are risking serious illness. From either pathogens of marine origin or later handling.

Crab: parasitic flukes (liver flukes and lung flukes), roundworms (e.g. Angiostrongylus cantonensis) and tapeworms (e.g. Diphyllobothrium spp.). Viruses: norovirus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Lobsters: Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholera.

Shrimp and Squid: many of the same.
