I am highly allergic to seafood.
Oh no! Seafood usually includes both fish and shellfish. Are you allergic to both?
Mostly shrimp, but I stay away from other shellfish. I can do fish occasionally.
Edible sea plants, such as seaweed are also widely known as seafood. Do your allergies cover that as well?
No I eat seawood when I eat sushi rolls so that doesn't affect me.

Yes, but aren't there a lot of healthy alternative?
known as aquaculture or fish farming (in the case of fish). Seafood is often colloquially distinguished from meat, although it is still animal in nature and is excluded from a vegetarian diet, as decided by groups like the Vegetarian Society after confusion surrounding pescetarianism. Seafood is an important source of (animal) protein in many diets around the world, especially in coastal areas.
Most of the seafood harvest is consumed by humans, but a significant proportion is used as fish food to farm other fish or rear farm animals
