i only eat organic, wild caught, free range, north atlantic shrimp, and this is all you should eat too
its $38.00lb but so what ?? I know what it is and where it came from
Looks like i'll have to start raising my own, im growing my own veggies, have fruit trees, have some meat cows, chickens, lambs, and hogs,,
cause the "store bought " food will kill you - all the greedy corporations are out to kill us thru foods
How are you planning to raise your own Shrimp, for pete's sake?
I love shrimp, but Asian benjo-ditch farmed shrimp is so nasty I won't touch it. This article is telling me that even if I'm paying $38 for a pound of open-ocean shrimp...I might still be getting Asian benjo-ditch farmed shrimp.
So no more shrimp for me.

The last time I bought shrimp (US wild caught) it was frozen. When I prepared my meal, it tasted
awful. I couldn't eat it. After reading several articles, shrimp caught in the US can be sent to China
for processing and then shipped back due to lower labor cost. How could it cost less to ship it
thousands of miles away, process it and ship it back vs having it done where it was caught in the US?
And, it would certainly be so fresh too. lol I would be willing to pay more instead of eating the mislabeled crap (which wasn't a bargain or cheaper).
....and we don't live near any coast so our options are limited.
I did get fresh shrimp from whole foods, spent over $30 only to get home and find out it was spoiled and smelled like it went bad. Never again!!! Returned the tainted shrimp and got my money back. The smell was so bad I had to triple bag it and it stunk up the entire house.

with what whole foods charges, you'd think they'd check for freshness
Interesting article. However I am much more interested in taste than whether it was "farm raised" or wild caught.
My thoughts exactly. I read the article like many of us here and as usual the title was very misleading. Should we be surprised a good % of our shrimp is farm grown? This is the case with most of our fish. As long as it is tasty and is somewhat healthy I really don't care. Sensationalism is getting out of ham.
Lubby, no, not all frozen shrimp is from Asia. Some is grown and processed here in America.

the statements were tongue in cheek!!! Or that is how most took it.
