"Yes, some shellfish allergies include mollusks. Shellfish are a category of seafood that includes both crustaceans and mollusks. Crustaceans include shrimp, crab, and lobster, while mollusks include clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, octopus, and squid.
Some people with shellfish allergies are allergic to both crustaceans and mollusks, while others are only allergic to one. For example, many people who are allergic to shellfish can eat mollusks without issue. However, anyone with shellfish allergy symptoms should consult an allergist before eating any other kind of shellfish."
I personally am allergic to shellfish, but I think I can eat octopus. I purposely avoid clams, mussels, oysters, etc. I'm wondering if it's possible someone could only be VERY allergic to shellfish, and only partially allergic to mollusks.
