I’m sitting on a pier right now in Grand Isle, Louisiana watching shrimp boats out on the horizon do their thing.
This article was like a breath of fresh air. Have you noticed how the powers that be are saturating all media with breathless prose about how bad the tariffs are for [fill in the blank]. The are so desperately searching for a fable that will resonate with Americans.
Yup. Much to-do today about the Brits nationalizing their steel industry after the Chinese owner shut it down. What allowed the U.S. steel industry to survive under a similar onslaught of foreign competition was tariffs. The NYT would be collectively boiled in oil before they reported that.
American shrimps are pretty tasty.

Yes, they are but they do not produce the quantity the market demands - likely due to the turtle exclusion panels, the highly regulated nets size, and limited time to fish per state and federal regulations.
Only a fool would purchase contaminated farm raised seafood. Fixed
US shrimp boats are mostly right out of the early 20th century, as are the onboard storage & handling. Primitive.
Fair enough.
From anywhere.
It’s just that the horror stories I’ve heard about third world pollution and sewage....... ***ugh!***
That’s why I grow my own garlic. Grows great around here i get more than enough for us and to share.
Same applies to the farmed salmon sold in American groceries.
