These 12 seafood items were considered the most important for British cuisine in the mid-1800's. What does /ck/ think of them?

They need batter, chips and vinegar.
For vinegary shits.

OP is obviously trying to avoid calling a crustacean a "fish".

Why not just use “seafood”?

>John Dory
Why?
>Various, often doubtful explanations are given of the origin of the name. It may be an arbitrary or jocular variation of dory (from French dorée, gilded), or an allusion to John Dory, the hero of an old ballad. Others suggest that "John" derives from the French jaune, yellow. The novel An Antarctic Mystery by Jules Verne gives another account, which has some popularity but is probably fanciful: "The legendary etymology of this piscatorial designation is Janitore, the 'door-keeper,' in allusion to St. Peter, who brought a fish said to be of that species, to Jesus at his command." Other known names for the John Dory are the "St. Pierre", or "Peter's Fish", perhaps explaining why dories were often referred to as "Peter Boats", Saint Peter being the patron saint of fishermen.[5] A related legend says that the dark spot on the fish's flank is St. Peter's thumbprint.[6] In the north coast of Spain, it is known commonly as San Martiño.
Lame.

Most things like that are equally lame and vague. Next time I wouldn't bother.
