this one is funny.

scroll down to the bottom of this page:
http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/shanghai.htm

you'll see a section that says "Products".
read it carefully...

I don't think they mean to "see Products"... but actual sea as in ocean products.. I don't think they wanted to list off every type of "sea" product under the Products description.

Yes, I think trickster is right. I dont think it is a mistake.
