Why am I allergic to fish but not shellfish?

When I eat fish, I get itchy all over, severe heartburn, and a severe pain in my lower abdomen that feels like a blockage, but it's not. However, I can eat shrimp, clams, oysters, squid, and octopus (basically mollusks and shellfish are okay). What the hey?
 
You don't have to be allergic to all fish and shellfish, I am not. I am only allergic to some. I can eat Cod and Salmon only, but none other.
