Ni Hao!

My Husband and I are travelling to China in January 2009, before we go, we have been trying to learn the basics.

I don't eat seafood of any kind and when we went to Singapore I asked the waiter for no seafood, he said he understood and came back with my dish and it was covered in crab and shrimp/prawns.. I said "no seafood, what is this?" (pointing to the crab) he says "this no seafood, this crab".......Luckily my husband was happy to pick it out.

Can someone please tell me the sentence translation for:

"I do not eat seafood, please no fish, no crab or anything from the sea"

Can you also please give me the same translation in chinese characters so that I can write it down incase they don't understand my chinese?

Thanks in advance!
