I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether Lobsters are halal or not? I'm assuming not seeing as they eat other creatures, e.g. crabs. But if anyone could clarify this I would appreciate it.
...Of course, all this applies to the seafood itself. As far as cooked or processed seafood, any added ingredients, flavors or cooking methods that introduce haram ingredients would make the seafood haram.

But the question is, why would anybody want to eat a slimy old hagfish anyway? They secrete chemicals which turn water into goop and love nothing better than boring into the side of a dead fish...

According to the Hanafi scholars, the only living creatures of the sea that are permissible are those that are in the form of a fish with an exception of the hagfish and eel. (Ibid). (these 2 even though they are not in the form of a fish they will be permissible to consume).
Hence, according to the Hanafi scholars, it will not be permissible to eat oyster, oyster extract, shrimp and lobsters. It will be permissible to consume shark as it is in the form of a fish.
