shellfish

I know that shellfish is generally safe to eat during pregnancy so long it's well cooked, however I came across an article saying shellfish feed with alge, even it's fully cook, bacteria, will still be there. Will you avoid shellfish during pregnancy? E.g. Abalone, scallop, oyster, etc.

I met someone (not pregnant) who had salmonella infection from eating supposedly well cooked shellfish. How I feel is that if I can live without it for 9 months, I’ll just avoid it to keep safe
