The seas are not limitless. Very bountiful, yes, but not limitless. It's difficult to quantify due to the sheer depth and opacity of the water, but it is possible to overfish an area (yes, even an area of the ocean itself) and put a strain on your food supplies if you're reckless. Even only overfishing a single species can have dreadful knock-on effects by killing off predators that were relying on that species as their primary source of food, which in turns gives scavengers less to scavenge on, etc., etc.
And before someone else tells me I'm overthinking it, this is what happens to my face when you tell me that:
Please stop! You're hurting me.
