Clams, lobster?
As Christians they were fully aware of the prohibition
on bottom feeders/shellfish.
So, any thoughts?

Here’s thought - Christians are purchased by Christ and are free from the law. Only law-keepers have their souls judged according to the deeds. Read Acts 10:9 - 16 for example.
If that were actually the case (and it's NOT. The New Testament clears that up), I would be destined for the lowest pit in Hades.
The New Testament reveals to us that Christ has fulfilled that law, thus God judges no one by what they eat. Christ has made us "clean" thus food cannot make us unclean.
Lobster was considered a “garbage fish” until a much more modern era IIRC.
