Much of shrimping is cash business and not recorded by any statistic.
As for me, I grew up eating lots of shrimp due dad like to shrimp every Saturday and Sunday during shrimp season. This was with a 16 foot boat with a 25hp Johnson with a 16ft trawl. Our deep freezer was packed with seafoon.
The by catch was crabs, which we also ate, and needle nose gar which we threw back in.

Just about every other industry is dealing with this problem, as are individual employees whose jobs can get sent overseas or already have, so….

And you better believe that there are many American companies making money on all of it.

Yep. I like to eat seafood from real close.
Same here.
I don't order seafood at a restaurant north of I-10.

Winn Dixie used to sell a brand that was called something like "American Seafood" but the product was from Thailand. It might have been packaged in the US but the labeling was very deceptive.
I love how rouses touts shop local and local seafood but sells imported frozen crawfish

if the restaurant specifically labels it’s product as American sourced
Meaning the wholesaler that imports it from the far east is in California.

I don’t know how to stop this though outside of import restrictions or excessive tariffs, neither of which I like.
I think an easy first step is to mandate restaurants print on the menu where the shrimp is from, not unlike they do with oysters.
This is a huge story in South Carolina as well, they call it shrimp dumping. And I kinda can’t understand how shrimp from 3 thousand miles away is less expensive than shrimp 300 yards away.

Kind of a dumb rule

Yikes, I love gulf seafood but GA and Sc have pretty good seafood.
Cali, wash and Org. Have solid choices as well.

That’s stupid.
You don’t eat lobster, king crab, salmon, etc?

The commercial shrimp season in SC is not year round, there are parts of the year where any shrimp on the menu is neither fresh nor necessarily local.
