I think fish is the animal, seafood is the fish we eat. |

In the context of eating out:
Fish = any variety of fish including shark, gurnard, snapper, salmon, trout etc Can be fresh or salt water.
Seafood = all shellfish (oysters, scallops, mussels, abalone, clams, etc), calamari (octopus), and anything else you get from the sea that isn�t a fish or plant (i.e. seaweed)
I hope that helps. |

Hi Viggia,
Spot on Prof and Vikkii your right about fish, it can be either fresh or salt water.
Technically seafood is any sea animal or seaweed (plant) that is edible. Although generally when one speaks of seafood one refers to shellfish (crustaceans) and the squid family. You wouldn�t say to a date for example lets go out for seafood dinner and take him/her to local fish and chip shop. Another example is seafood paella, a dish which could include all three types of sea animal. (ask our Spanish members about paella, mmmm my mouth waters just thinking about it).
I hope that that makes it a bit clearer than mud.
Enjoy, |

Hey Dennis
in Oz you could take your date out for a seafood dinner - fish, chips, prawns & calamari while sitting on some bonza beaches!
As a chef (18 years experience including classical French & Italian) I�m used to defining seafood as any edible plant or animal from salt water/sea/ocean environs. This means that �fish� can be a subset of �seafood�, but not always(see below)!
Fresh water crustaceans (yabbies, for example) & fish are not seafood!
Cheers,

Your right Alien Boy.
In South African we have similar places, nothing better than having a seafood �braai� which you call a barbeque. Or a calamari and sloppy chips roll. Or stuffing crayfish tails into a kelp stem and cooking it over the coals. But I�m not a Chef, just a lover of the sea and most things in it. |

Hi Alien Boy ever tried Chilian Carmenere?
It is a wonderful and i believe unique wine! Originally from France where it was wiped out by some disease, then rediscovered in little ole Chile where they really know how to grow a Vino tinto!! |

Hi Vickiii!
Sure have - several years ago when I worked in a wine bar in Melbourne! I love good red wine & certainly like the rich reds from Chile!
If you can recommend any specific labels, please feel free to message me.
