'shellfish', 'jellyfish' and 'starfish' are not commonly considered fishes, despite the name.

You might be surprised.

I have been. For instance, I was served trepang in a Chinese restaurant once. I asked what it was -- I wasn't veggie yet in those days, I was still just a kid. They told me it was a fish.

No Google in those days, so I had to go to the library and look through books, which told me it was a sea-slug. It's not.
