A Bible preaching friend just pinpointed this to me, while I stopped by some shop to get some tiny fishes without scales and crayfish grinded.She was of the views that it ungodly and unclean to eat animal or creatures without scale and it in the Bible. For me it a new one, I have never heard of this? How you aware of this?Do you eat animals without scales?

Your friend is referring to the Law in the Torah (and in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible) in Deuteronomy 14. where verses 9-10 refer to the fishes and other animals which live in the seas and rivers.
9These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:
10And whatsoever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
There is a whole list of animals which Jews are not allowed to eat but St Paul pointed out that Gentiles (non-Jews) are not bound by those laws because Jesus Himself fulfilled them for us.

Yes I am aware of it. I eat anything I want but I have Seventh Day Adventist friends, they do not eat pork, mollusks, crustaceans and fishes without scales. I also believe they are not very good because they cause allergies to some so maybe that is their basis that they cannot explain specifically.
