    So, am I right in thinking this basically means "water meat"?

      literally means water meat. but it's more like how we say "sea food"

        Except seafood refers to food and, strangely enough, 물고기 (water meat) refers to live, swimming fish. 생산 is actually food.

          So would "sea food" be correct as well?

            What's the difference between 물고기 and 생선? One means fish that you can consume and the other fish in general or are they just synonyms?

              물고기 is any swimming vertebrate, 생선 is food
