Wild Shrimp?
Last I heard, a good shrimp haul is 20% shrimp, the rest is fish that die on the deck as the shrimp are being sorted out. My assistant, T, was out on a shrimp boat and spent the night tossing fish back into the water while the shrimpers laughed at her. Anyway, I don't buy peeled shrimp - and most here has been coming from Central and South American farms (which is not to say they don't have slave labor there too). |
