Rivers are bad for finding fish. You can travel for a couple of minimaps and not find any. If there were any, they can get fished out pretty quick. Lakes are better as there are more tiles of water for fish to be on. Another thing is that the fish animation cycles pretty slowly, so if you're just zooming through, you might miss the fact that there are fish there.

Seeds are obtained either through trade or drying Wild Windsown Weed.

Rabbits, chickens, ants, and forageables are a very reliable source of food. You need to look a bit harder if you're not finding enough of these. More exploration is always a good thing, too.

Herbs aren't terribly rare. Your best bets early on are to explore your surroundings as much as possible and to seek out grassland, heath, or moor. These are Much more forgiving to new players in terms of food availability. You have chickens, rabbits, apples, nuts, and other pleasantries readily available on those terrain types. In forests you'll need some exploration to forage up nice things to eat =)

at this stage in the game, ure probably likely to find abandoned farms, u can take seeds from or even decent players who dont mind giving u some. since most established farms tend to throw away a ton of seeds.

u need to up your explroation of see WWW more often, when u do, collect and dry in a drying rack and u'll get a random seed.

main supply of food personally is meat, gained through hunting, and fish.

good luck
