Freshwater fish and shellfish are not seafood. They are aquadic, which is different from marine. Seafood consists of marine creatures. I expect that the truck hauls seafood from coastal areas to inland markets, but it was worth a doubletake.

Clearly, they were selling seafood from the Inland Sea, which separates the thee main islands in Japan.
