Answer
Shared crab-house tables and steamers increase cross-contact risk for shellfish allergies—ask about separate utensils, cooking surfaces, and seasoning blends before you sit down. When risk is high, choose a non-seafood restaurant instead of testing limits. Carry prescribed emergency medication if your clinician recommends it.
