I'm not sure if the question was actaully answered, so long as the beef was "produced" in the US you're good and yes you can fly with it. Seafood of almost any sort is okay from anywhere... I thought I heard Chilean Seabass was going extinct so if it is protected you might actually run into a CITES issue rather than an agriculture issue.... I did a quick check of the CITES website (www.cites.org) and I couldn't find it in any of the schedules- you should be fine so long as you declare your food, safe travels.
