Shrimp stands

No, but if you can get downtown in the next hour, you might be able to catch Anna Marie's Shrimp stand at the Red Stick Farmer's Market. (I usually buy from them at the Farmer's Market on Thursdays at Pennington, so I'm assuming they also go to the larger Saturday market.)

They are flash frozen on the boat, and some of the best tasting shrimp I've had.

Shrimp trucks are a tradition, I've never had a problem buying from them. There used to be a guy on Old Hammond Hwy in the gas station across from Burlington Coat Factory, he had great deals and very fresh shrimp. Have not seen him in years.

We used to live in a small town the passed a law forbidding selling seafood from a truck, the brick and mortars complained that they were unfair competition. So the shrimp truck lady rented a storefront and then sold shrimp out of her truck parked in front of her store.

She complied with the law, I think her son and his family lived in the storefront.

Why anyone would buy shrimp from a guy on the side of the road is a mystery to me.

Because unfrozen shrimp allow you to tell pretty damn close to how long they've been out of the water or unfrozen. Not hard to tell when unfrozen shrimp are bad.

Yeah...like when they're for sale in the back of a pickup.

Sooner or later, you're gonna have to stop believing everything that Mommy Bat Man warned you about. Remember when she told you not to do something, you didn't go blind, did you?
