Many other sea creatures can also be eaten, including some with an outer
shell you have to remove before getting to the soft flesh inside. This
type of seafood includes lobsters, crabs, crayfish, prawns
and shrimp, a smaller relative of the prawn. Others live inside a very
hard shell that can be difficult to open, and these include oysters,
mussels, scallops and periwinkles. In some places the word "shellfish" covers both these kinds of seafood, but in others it only means the latter kind with very hard shells. Other edible sea creatures like the squid and the octopus have soft bodies and no shell, but long arms that help them move quickly through the water. Fish eggs called roe can also be eaten, and one of the most high-class and expensive foods in the world is sturgeon roe, also known as caviar.
