Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can we eat star fish and eels?

A: Avoid eating these things.

( ولا ) يحل ( حيوان مائي إلا السمك )  (الدر المختار 6/306)

الدود الذى يقال له جهينگه حرام عند بعض العلماء لأنه لا يشبه السمك فإنما يباح عندنا من صيد البحر أنواع السمك و هذا لا يكون كذلك و قال بعضهم حلال لأنه يسمى باسم السمك والله أعلم (مجموعة فتاوى عبد الحي 2/297)
