  It's a dramatic way of stating that lobster and crab are members of the phylum Arthropoda, which also includes scorpions, centipedes, and butterflies.

    Additionally lobster were at one point in history seen as vermin, to the point where there were laws about how often they could be fed to prisoners because it was seen as inhumane to feed them such low quality food. But now lobster is seen as high cuisine.

      That's quite dumb. Shrimp actually clean the water by feeding on waste. I'm sure other crustaceans do it as well to some extent. I only have shrimp in my aquariums which I've branded as the cleanup team specifically because they keep my tanks clean.

  They're basically water "bugs". Equivalent to eating scorpions on land.
