The Trident brand is USA. Costco carries it.

This world is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions— real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! Al Gore is going to pass gas and the entire Earth is going to explode!

Sensible people should start taking legal action to define AGW’s as a religious cult and then cut off funding to maintain separation of Church and State.

bad tasting shrimp can be traced to the chi-coms growing em in human feces then selling them to the good ole U.S.A.

Years ago when I was in the seafood biz, I flew to Port Lavaca Texas to hook up with a load of flash frozen Saudi head-on shrimp which we'd had shipped there for tailing and size-grading.

Those Texans marveled at the freshness and quality, compared to the gulf stuff.

How many years ago, and why would frozen be fresher than literally just pulled out of the water?

This would have been a bit over fifteen years ago....and the freshness is due to being flash frozen virtually immediately on factory trawlers - versus fresh gulf shrimp maybe just ‘iced’ for better than a day, with the head/guts still intact - which quickens the decomp processes.

I don’t know about 15 years ago, or your experience as a visiting salesman, but we didn’t have a freshness problem when I was a kid in the early 1960s and pulling the shrimp fresh from the water on my dads boat, they was also fresh when we would seine net for them when at the beach and throw them into the pot on the camp fire.

After hurricane Carla, we had a little body of trapped water that was growing giant shrimp, and which we could could seine for them.
