Figured my ob-brethren could help me out best with this...
Looking for ~20# of shrimp to boil tonight. I've got my ice chest (non-yeti) in the truck and I'll make a run during lunch. Not enough time to get to the coast and find a boat to buy from (though that may be a mission soon since I hear prices are falling).

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunaty, a little too far of a run for me today at lunch. My parents are down in coco this weekend and I asked hem to bring an ice chest back for me, I'll let them know about that place if they don't find a boat to buy from.

pass overpass, head to Thibodaux. right by the big rouses or around there, theres a seafood place. forget the name, but I get crawfish from there sometimes. should be right next to the new rotolos.

I know not everyone has Facebook, but the Louisiana Shrimper's Trading Post is full of owner/operators selling in that area. Fresh off the boat

That's seafood outlet. They have two in Thibodaux. I've tried them before and it's been hit and miss.

across from laurel valley.

Space too tight for a grader... I've got most of it done, though... Might need to get one more yard.

I do, once boiling, drop shrimp in, bring back to boil for a minute or two, then cut and cool.

I got some 16-20s last time and they were perfect. Bought at Chauvins in Dulac who is pricey but I was right there.
