Does "mariscos" include pescado?

Question

I need to refer to seafood, including fish, shellfish, crustaceans, etc.

Can I use "mariscos" to refer to all of this, or do I need to specify "mariscos y pescado"?

Gracias

Answer 1

Just mariscos is good.

Answer 2

Here in Baja they are referred to separately. So you would say mariscos y pescado.

It´s the same in the city - 005faa61, Feb 1, 2013

Answer 3

I always think of "mariscos" as meaning seafood in general, which would include everything in your list.

Answer 4

Quoting the great Laz: Marisco

Seems like you could go both ways, since fish are vertebrates!
