Save yourself the trouble of testing: I can confirm that the "Seafood" ingredient cannot be Dried Crab or Dried Shellfish.

Confirmed at Artisan 6 cooking.....using one special garlic and one special hot pepper to replace the original recipe doesn't work. With 100% success rate, the recipe I used was: 2 dried pearl oyster flesh, 5 special garlic, 5 special hot pepper, 5 essence of liquor, and 5 olive oil. Hope this helps.
