They don't smoke resin? Why?

And since Rastafarianism is so big on Jamaica, which is an island, isn't it kind of hard for them to not eat fish?

Yeah, I've never heard of there being fish restrictions for rastas. Pork, yes, but not fish.

They started in Africa. They eat fish, but not over a foot long in length. Similar to kosher laws, they don't shelf fish, or scavengers.

From what I looked up earlier it sounds like the don't eat shellfish, but that's it. And not even all of them believe in adhering to that.
