Seafood includes fish. Anyone who says otherwise is a hobbit sucking Welshman.
The term 'fruits de mer' or whatever it is the French say, can I think correctly be applied to edible marine invertebrates.
But ultimately these definitions are stupid, and just contribute to greater confusion. People will go off mussels 'cos of one bad experience then insist that they don't eat shellfish, despite the fact that in biological and cullinary terms they're writing off a huge variety of foods. I blame the fact that these thigns all get lumped together under convenient (but incorrect) headings.
