SAMUT SAKHON, Thailand (AP) â An Associated Press investigation found enslaved migrant workers and children ripping the heads, tails, shells and guts off shrimp at processing factories in Thailand.
AP journalists followed and filmed trucks loaded with freshly peeled shrimp going from one peeling shed to major Thai exporting companies. Then, using U.S. customs records and Thai industry reports, they tracked it globally. They also traced similar connections from another factory raided six months earlier, and interviewed more than two dozen workers from both sites.

Did it specify which gulf they were caught in?
TPP,,,
If I’m very lucky, I will be catching and peeling my own shrimp shrimp, thank you very much. I usually won’t buy frozen or pre-cooked shrimp— I would rather do without if I can’t have fresh.
I think it said the “Gulf of Siam”. That is just South of Pensacola I think.
See my post #14. (I have since Googled the “ingredient”.)

lol... if you’ve seen one gulf, you’ve seen them all I guess.
In the old days, in hard times they actually used black powder to season meat.....so I've heard.
It also was used to close up large wounds
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun!
No, you can't get good help these days. I have to peel my own.
I buy only Gulf shrimp, from a reputable Louisiana brand.
Not my shrimp. I only buy wild caught, gulf, “product of the U.S.A.” shrimp. If it says “product of Thailand” or farm raised, it’s a no go
I’ve never cooked shrimp in the oven, but boiled or fried anything over 1 minute is probably too much.
I don’t care who peels farmed shrimp, they simply are not fit to eat compared to wild caught, especially with the massive amounts of chemicals and antibiotics that get pumped into the ponds they’re raised in.
As a kid, I enjoyed Negro Head canned oysters. Can’t seem to find them in the store these days.
The last time I bought shrimp Bush the Younger was president.
Yes, by all means, let’s expose them and shut down those nasty factories - they’ll be better off starving to death without wages so that we liberals can sleep tight in our beds at night.
Imagine if they had tracked bammy with such zeal.
Imagine if they tracked illegals with such zeal.
Imagine if they tracked terrorists with such zeal.
