If you interested in doing crawfish as well, I can hook you up with fishermen


There's 2 people that have NWA market pretty much cornered. He'd have a hell of a time getting in.


and to the OP, you are going to want IQF, fresh isn't going to work for that

Only advice I can offer is to make damn sure you have the proper licensing and permits to carry them across state lines for sale. I have a friend that is still paying for that mistake from 20 years ago. You cross state lines with seafood without the proper licensing and permits, they'll pull you over in the first mile.

You'll need orders lined up so you can un-load the fresh shrimp as soon as you get back home.

Go talk to some boats. 10 skiffs to work with you will be better than a big boat that drags the gulf. Shrimp caught in the pass will last alot longer than shrimp caught in the gulf.

As far as IQF, . Maybe NWA don't know any better but I can't understand the people that buy that stuff.
