A minor point.....shrimp are crustaceans so the waiter who says that there is 
no fish in the eggroll is correct. In this example , it is not the waiter  
who answered wrongly but rather the diner  was confused about their actual 
allergy. In my experience, those allergic to fish are not generally allergic 
to crustaceans also. I, for instance am allergic to blue crab. I ask if the 
crab in a dish is blue crab. I wuld not think to call it 'fish' or 'snow 
crab' or anything else but exactly what it is.  Oftentimes people with 
allergies put their allergies into a broad spectrum when, in reality the 
allrergy itself is very specific.
