Harvest from waters
Seafood is fish, shellfish, and other edible marine life: The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood.
The term covers everything from salmon and tuna to shrimp, lobster, clams, and squid.
Seafood often appears on menus as a category distinct from meat, though the line blurs with creatures like frog legs or freshwater fish that get grouped in by extension.
