Gulf Shrimp
Sea Forager is happy to offer domestic, highly well-regulated, and delicious shrimp, from F/V Anna Marie, caught by Lance Nacio, whose family has been shrimping in Louisiana for generations.
The Meat
Although it's America's favorite seafood, the shrimp industry is a blight upon the planet. Check out this short video that explains some of the horrors of the shrimp industry and trawling generally: Grinding Nemo. Then you'll understand how exciting and profound it is that we have a sustainable shrimp source.
Lance Nacio's family has been fishing in the Gulf for generations, and he has developed a fishing method that dramatically reduces bycatch in an industry that traditionally catches four pounds of bycatch for every pound of shrimp. Lance is exactly the type of fisherman we want to support. Though he is not required by law to do so, he adapts his gear type to catch fewer shrimp and prevent endangered animals from getting caught. He then flash freezes the shrimp aboard the boat for maxium flavor.
You can feel great about these domestic, highly well-regulated, and delicious shrimp.
