But "Inland" has nothing to do with seafood. 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.
