You're in Ontario, Canada on a snowy day, hundreds of kilometres from the sea. You're warming up in and dining in a restaurant overlooking Lake Michigan, one of the largest fresh water bodies anywhere on Earth. You order some local bass, which comes from the lake that you're staring at.
You're in an inland Greek town overlooking a fresh water river. You go fishing. You just caught tonight's dinner- that is- a giant rainbow trout
In any of those three scanarios, are you eating seafood?

Honestly it doesn't matter a damn. If you want to coin a new term "river-food" to distinguish those things from a river from those things from the sea, go right ahead. Be aware of farmed fish though, you'll have to distinguish that from river-food, good luck coming up with a word for sea-food farmed on land.
Pedantry is the sport of small minds.

Gotta have a little bit of darkness within you just to survive. You gotta stoop low everyday it seems like. Stoop all the way down to the devil in these times. And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Perhaps a more pertinent question would be: are the vegetarians that eat fish and other seafood being silly or just trolling when they adamantly and forcefully say they are still vegetarian?
