Also if the govt. would get out of the way maybe a domestic shrimp farming industry could develop.

Could not compete with Chinese owned shrimp farms in Central America. Cost of production is so much cheaper down there. Even Asian shrimp farms (Vietnam, Thailand) would beat them...... SHRIMP is shipped in 5lb frozen blocks and bigger from these farms. Shrimp freezes well, with good taste and texture, so is very transportable.

Thanks for the information. I am getting an education about the shrimp industry. Looks like the chicoms could just switch thier production to Central America, wish they were Central American owned, though.

I feel sorry for the shrimp boaters, but progress keeps marching on and consumers should be able to share in that.
