Whose dietary restrictions focus on the prohibition of certain types of seafood and meat?

The dietary restrictions that focus on the prohibition of certain types of seafood and meat are associated with Jewish dietary laws, known as Kashrut. These laws define what is permissible (kosher) and forbidden (treif) in terms of food consumption. For example, Jews are not allowed to eat products from certain animals that do not meet specific criteria, including the prohibition of certain seafood, such as shellfish. Additionally, meat must come from kosher animals and must be slaughtered in a specific way.

While other cultures and religions, such as Muslims and Hindus, have their own dietary restrictions—like the prohibition of pork in Islam or vegetarianism among many Hindus—these do not specifically emphasize the same combination of seafood and meat rules that Kashrut does. Roman Catholics typically observe dietary restrictions during Lent but do not have prohibitions around specific types of seafood and meat in the same structured manner as Jewish dietary laws.
