There is only one of me lol xD
More to the point, why do they say "shellfish", "starfish", "jellyfish" etc, when none of those are even fish?
We say codfish, catfish, lionfish, swordfish, sunfish, cowfish, etc. I guess it is a fish thing...

Just because they say It's chicken of the sea does not make it true. :P

Because there's also a beach called Tuna beach. So people say tuna fish in order not to be confused with the beach.
You got me again but don't forget Jessica Simpson saying that " tuna is the chicken of the sea".
