If every shrimp on your plate is perfect, you're eating imports.
Interesting. Like a Sysco shipment?

We had an issue with some of the Black Tigers, being Blue tint, it was easy to see. I've stayed away from the 16-what ever shrimp from over seas, i had a bag that wasn't great. I Stick to the EZ-peel prawns. only a couple bucks more per lb and they are already cleaned, just pull the shell off. Nice huge shrimp and very good.
And a huge reason customers want them, is they can get p&d shrimp for less than american whole shrimp.

I guess so.
The point is that everything looks really good. I think you get a better flavor overall with domestic shrimp.
Now, most restaurants cover up a lot of that flavor with seasonings, but gulf shrimp is pretty hard to beat on it's own.
My problem with imports is this:
They dump shrimp here, hurting the wild caught industry. Also, how do you think they get shrimp to survive in such close quarters?
They feed antibiotics to them. Some aren't approved here.
And the last time I checked, the FDA only checks about 2% of what we import.
