If it’s freshwater, I wouldn’t class it as seafood either. I’ve seen catfish categorized as “fish” but never as “seafood”. Anyway, who would want to eat something small and wormlike?
Being French, I have a fair amount of experience of eating snails both in restaurants and at home, and I have never heard anyone suggest that they were seafood. For a start, they live on land - hang, some pedant is going to get me for that - I mean that the most commonly eaten escargot de Bourgogne, lives on land. They are however not in any way confined to Burgundy, as I spotted some in my friend’s garden in Kilburn, North London, on Sunday. They’re not only eaten as an appetiser, but this is their most frequent culinary incarnation. However, they’re a land animal, so they’re meat.
What really matters is that they’re really, really good, except made à la Provençale. The same goes for frogs’ legs. It’s a crap recipe.
Where on the menu?
How about “From the Garden…”

What do the Jews say? Kosher or no?
What does the (nm) at the end of your topic line mean?
I agree with Zorro (must be French camaraderie!). To me, they live on land, have nothing to do with the Ocean/Sea… they’re meat!
