| Shrimp that tastes like...shrimp! |
You may wonder - what does that mean? Let's start with
some facts. Around 95% of the shrimp consumed in
America comes from overseas, mainly farm-raised and
mainly from Southeast Asia. This shrimp is quite bland, in
sharp contrast to Wild Caught shrimp from American
shores. The main shrimp-producing state is Louisiana,
where 90.4 million pounds were caught by shrimpers and
brought to the docks in 2008. Most of these shrimp are
the brown and white varieties. The difference in taste
between these Wild Caught Louisiana Gulf shrimp and
farm-raised shrimp from overseas is night-and-day. Gulf
shrimp are bursting with the wonderful taste that has made
them the preferred choice of top chefs around the country.
The difference between the brown and white varieties
caught by Louisiana shrimpers is subtle, but noticeable.
Brown shrimp are a little firmer and contain a bit of iodine,
giving these shrimp a real shrimp taste!
If you have shrimp in your freezer now, check out the
country of origin. If you're eating farm-raised shrimp from
Indonesia, grab a bag of our Louisiana Gold Wild Caught
brown Gulf shrimp and taste the difference. Not only are
our prices better, but the taste is superb and your money
is helping to support the 14,000+ Louisiana shrimpers and
the rest of the industry right here in America!
