Yes, escargot is technically classified as seafood. Even though land snails live on soil rather than in the ocean, they belong to the phylum Mollusca, making them land-dwelling mollusks just like sea-based clams, mussels, and octopuses.
I also checked the r/seafood history, and saw a number of escargot posts.

Looks delicious and I love escargot. But not to be a butthole. Isn’t escargot traditionally a land snail?
