Shrimp, Crab, Lobster are allowed to eat ??

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
Are we allowed to eat shrimp, crab, lobster & other sea food ? are we allowed to eat at china pagoda (halal). Please advice us.
According to research of the abu hanif’s school of thought anything other then fish of the sea animals is not halal. Anything that falls under the definition of fish would be fine and anything that doesn’t fall in its definition would be haram. We don’t have any update on ‘china pagoda’ as to under what category it comes. If it’s halal then we will say it’s halal but if it contains anything that is questionable then we will say it’s haram.
