Are you sure that your cooking and food preparation techniques do not
alter the salt/water composition of your food? Try catching them
fresh out of the ocean and eating them with no preparation.
If you drain the blood/hemolymph fluids, which are high in NaCl, the
actual tissue is low in Na+ but high in K+. It has the same osmotic
pressure (salinity) as seawater and so has the same osmotic effect on
the body, but without the sodium loading.
