I don't think I'm allergic to shellfish, but I don't eat it because I could very well be, and a lot of people who don't test allergic are anyway, or develop the allergy after being exposed to it.
I actually got really lucky, because the reaction was not nearly as bad as it could have been. We thought I would've had a lot of trouble breathing, but I don't remember having any at all -- unless the sensation was sort of blended in with that throat closure feeling.
It was at B&N in Union Square.
