Awesome! Been reading and watching lots of videos on Italian mills and clothes designers recently. Actually earlier today watched a twenty minute interview with Luciano Barbera the guy in pic!

Your first problem was even thinking of buying seafood from Winn Dixie!

Yeah, I'm pretty passionate about not buying shitty foreign seafood. Fck all of those companies that make their names and product packaging look like it is local.

I will def. go out of my way or pay a little more for local seafood.

That's a real bummer. Rouses sells head on shrimp for either 4.99 or 5.99 a pound, and they are always large, louisiana shrimp.

I feel your pain. Preach on, fight the good fight, and pray for a Rouses to open nearby

I wonder how common this is in the US or what the laws are

But that was not to be quite the whole story, thanks to the often opaque world of EU consumer law. When police in Angri, southern Italy, raided Asda's supplier, they found the tomato puree had been imported from China. It had been allowed to gain a "produced in Italy" label simply by having some water and salt added and then being canned in Italy.

I've actually talked about this to the lady behind the seafood counter at the Prairieville Winn Dixie. I was about to purchase what I assumed were fresh shrimp and she was straight up honest with me. She told me that a lot of the time they just open bags of the frozen "EZ Peel" shrimp that they sell in the frozen coolers.



Same at Albertson's, although they're clearly labeled as previously frozen in the display too.

I agree that the grocery stores by campus suck. Sometimes I drive all the way to Super Target and Whole Foods. Matherne's isn't too far either.

Fwiw I would never buy seafood at Winn Dixie.

I wouldn't buy shrimp from rouses either.....I always pass by their "fresh shrimp" and wonder who in the hell buys these. I can't tell you how many times I've passed the displays and have seen the heads turning pink. To be fair, it haven't noticed that as of late, but there is still no way I would purchase shrimp from there.
