In British English seafood generally refers to shellfish. So a seafood<br>
shop will be a shop, usually at the seaside, where you buy prawns,<br>
mussels, cockles and things that are ready to eat, with vinegar, as you<br>
walk along the front. To tag this a fishmonger would be misleading.<br>
</div></blockquote></div><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">What you write makes sense, but the problem is that who wrote the wiki for these shops didn't know about these distinctions, see here<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dseafood">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dseafood</a> a fishmonger is explicitly given as synonym (and btw. it was Harry Wood adding this synonym, AFAIK a British fellow)<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfishmonger">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfishmonger</a> shellfish seems to be included in the definition and seafood is given as synonym. But this page was created just 4 days ago.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">There was also a proposal (formally rejected because of missing votes): <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/seafood_shop">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/seafood_shop</a><br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">IMHO a place selling (only) prepared seafood ready to eat would be better called an amenity=fast_food with appropriate cuisine-tag.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Seems also to be a problem of American vs. British English.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Also your definitions for bookmaker and betting are appealing (me is neither an expert in this kind of business), and again the definition for betting like that for betting is 5 days old: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:shop%3Dbetting&action=history">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:shop%3Dbetting&action=history</a> and <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:shop%3Dbookmaker&action=history">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:shop%3Dbookmaker&action=history</a> and were written by the same person and contain the same text.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I really appreciate people trying to improve the wiki by writing definitions for tags in use, but it isn't helpful at all if these definitions are given by single mappers without any consultation on the tagging list about what is the intended meaning of these tags.<br>
