Seafood

Seafood refers to various types of edible marine life, primarily fish and shellfish, that are consumed by humans. It includes a wide range of organisms such as crustaceans (like shrimp, crabs, and lobsters), mollusks (such as clams, oysters, and squids), and finfish (like salmon, tuna, and cod). Seafood is harvested from oceans, rivers, and lakes and can be available fresh, frozen, dried, canned, or smoked. It is known for being a significant source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Seafood is integral to many culinary traditions worldwide and is often featured in a variety of dishes and preparations.
