Poultry refers to domestic birds--chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese. In supermarkets, the poultry section contains the
uncooked meat of domestic birds used for food. The cooked
meat is called by the name of the bird: chicken, turkey, duck,
goose, etc.

Seafood refers to anything from the sea which is used
for food. In supermarkets, the seafood section contains fish,
oysters, shrimp, lobster, clams, scallops, mussels, squid, and 
other items from the sea. The cooked meat is referred to
by the name of the animal, but a "seafood platter" or
"seafood plate" is a combination of seafood items.

Game refers to wild animals (both birds and mammals)
which are used for food. Most U.S. supermarkets don't
have game sections.
