The only one that doesn't apply in the DR is 'gambas'. 'Camarones' is used for both shrimp and prawns.

Also, 'tuna' is often used instead of 'atun'. As nobody eats prickly pears, there is no confusion.

What about clams? I can't think of the spanish word right now, but I think the one someone told me also starts with a C. maybe not.

You will see mero on many menus - it is either grouper or sea bass.
