seafood poisening Explanation: This is the common term in the US, probably because the most common source are clams and oysters rather than fish. I've experienced it three times: twice in a renowned seafood restaurant in Boston, once in the Pigalle. Somewhat to my surpris, never in any of the Pacific-Rim countries where I used to travel on bsiness. |
