That's retail, and not the farmer's selling price to the middle man.


I appreciate the downvote but I did research the farmer Tripe J Farms prior to listing his average selling price. But, here you go:

Triple J Farms

He is the farmer in the story. The story is about middle America shrimp farming not coastal shrimping. Did you read the first sentence? This is farmer pricing.

So this dude is bringing in only $100k in revenue per year? With all his expenses I can't imagine he's clearing all that good a living.

Getting your shrimp fresh, not frozen, makes a big difference in flavor and texture, and there are environmental and economic benefits that come from supporting community farming models.


My favorite places to eat shrimp are always restaurants with docks and shrimp boats that only open after the boats come in.
