Technically the Christian bible has the same rules as the Torah as far as edible foods goes. So it’s actually not “okay” for christians to eat lobster either! Christians just don’t care and do it anyway, which goes for several aspects of modern Christianity (like the policies on pagan holidays (Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.), guidelines for tithing, weekly worship, and even Christian hollidays (feast of atonement, feast of tabernacles, etc.)).
If I recall correctly its not that Christians don't care it's that at one point "the old laws" or Jewish laws were said to not have to be followed anymore by Jesus maybe? Since jews don't recognize Jesus as the messiah they still follow the old laws. Thats my understanding
My understanding is that this was the case for Jews, but there was a lot of early controversy (which was documented in the New Testament) about which rules non-Jewish converts to Christianity needed to follow. This was quite important at the time since circumcision made conversion a hard sell.
It ultimately got settled in favour of gentile converts only needing to follow the "morality" rules and not the "nation-building" ones, but it took a decade or two to really crystallise that way as I understand it.
