in thread My favorite food for feasting:

heh, you've done the same thing. You treated seafood and fish as synonyms. ( Uh, no you didn't ) What about crustaceans and mollusks? They're not fishes, but they're definitely seafood.

ummmm... lobster...

    I tend to be a bit pedantic, so I would refer to lobster, oyster, shrimp, clam, squid (and I'm sure much more, including fish) as 'seafood', and things like tuna, salmon, whitefish, cod, and others as fish (but also seafood). And of course, to me, those are all 'meat'.

    But honestly, I don't have to worry about it quite so much, since I tend to avoid such foodstuffs as I find dead cow parts much preferable. Especially when aged or served on skewers, or possibly both :-)

    ewwwwww.... water cockroach.

    I prefer my seafood to be educational (warning -- flash), rather than edible.

    (and for the feasting, I'd have preferred lamb or goat)
