What the author fails to point out is that eating seafood every day sucks. It's too rich/sweet/salty. It's like eating cake for every meal. It's not that people are fickle or stupid or whatever he's trying to point out here. No one wants to eat lobster every day. Not even people in the midwest. Ohh, and to add to that, eating a lot of shellfish can cause you to become allergic to it.

Source: I come from a coastal town and love crab, but couldn't eat it more than one or two times a week.

Fish is too rich? I thought that the consensus was that it is appealing because it is a lighter and healthier alternative to meats such as beef, chicken and pork.
Many fish are. Shellfish even more so. Nobody who can help it relies entirely on seafood. Where I'm from, it was the poor children of fishermen who were stuck eating seafood every single day.
The article was about shellfish. I'm sure most people wouldn't have an issue with fish.
