Interesting. As far as I've seen in the US, marinara sauce only has
seafood if it is specified. Just plain marinara sauce would not be
expected to have any meat at all in it. However, according to my
dictionary, we are both right:

marinara

noun [usu. as adj. ]

(in Italian cooking) a sauce made from tomatoes, onions, and herbs,
served esp. with pasta.

ORIGIN from the Italian phrase alla marinara 'sailor-style.'
