            Ah, Americans are redefining words again.

            Normal English:

            animals from the sea that can be eaten, especially fish or sea creatures with shells

            US English:

            fish or shellfish eaten as food

            I’m gonna go with the definition that makes sense and say that no, we don’t have any local seafood, simply because we don’t have any sea.

              There are more native English speakers in my country than yours. So I’ll continue to use the definition that they understand, which is also the definition used by Encyclopedia Britannica.

              But if I ever visit your landlocked English-speaking country (assuming such a place exists), then I’ll try to keep in mind that local customs differ when eating at your restaurants.
