The mark-up on many grocery items can be frustrating for you, the consumer. We know -
we've felt the pain over the years, too, especially when buying seafood! So much of the
cost of any item you buy is associated with the distribution chain. Each entity that handles
the product takes a cut, so the more middle-men in the process, the higher the cost. Our
business model is simple - bring fresh shrimp straight from the Gulf to Rockford, IL, where
we can distribute the product. This is how we can offer incredible prices! Less hands =
more savings.
Below you'll see the chain between the hard-working Louisiana shrimpers and you. All of
our shrimp comes from either Delcambre (pronounced Del-come), Louisiana, or New
Orleans, Louisiana. Delcambre is renown as the "Shrimp Capital of the World" and the town
holds an annual Shrimp Festival every August. Our family in Lafayette, LA, is only 30
minutes from the shrimp docks and works closely with the processors. This all adds up to an
incredible product available to you in Northern Illinois, straight from the Gulf Coast!
