I don't like that seafood includes fresh water fish, and that might make
some misunderstanding among mappers. I'd like a big bold "USE THIS TAG FOR
FRESHWATER FISH ALSO" over the wiki page.

I like the fishmonger word better, but I understand seafood is an easier
word for non-native english speakers. Other than that, I'm ok with it.
