Question : Is it permissible to eat lobster, crayfish, and snails?
Answer : It is 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.
According to Ayatollah Al-Sistani
http://sistani.org/index.php?p=616687&id=1184
This ruling is accepted by the majority of the prominent Shia scholars Maraji’ (مراجع). Also Fish must be caught alive when taken out of water and it must not have died already in the water.
If you suspect whether a type of fish has scales or not you should assume that it doesn’t and act accordingly.
Below is a list of some of the common types of fish. Please note this is not an exhaustive list:
