I saw a bumper sticker which read,
“Friends don’t let friends eat imported shrimp.”
Does that refer to South American shrimp, processing, etc.?
Exactly. The South/Central Americanos are not known for their sanitation practices, and those practices extend to seafood harvesting and processing.
I’m quite familiar with the industry, and for the above reason I NEVER eat any seafood harvested in a country south of the U.S.
