After fuel costs, ice, paying deckhands and upkeep on a trawler...well...there’s not much money to be made these days with tasteles, rubbery Vietnamese and Thai shrimp flooding the market...but who cares..it’s cheap......i live about 10 miles from Bayou La Batre...i know a little about the biz....do we subsidize, protect?...well i don’t have an answer...but we did pretty good in this country for many a years eatin’ good ole gulf shrimp.

My wife always asks me why i don’t order shrimp when we dine out at chain restaurants...i tell her that that crap is a pale comparison to Alabama wild shrimp...i can tell the difference immediately.

As can any American with half a tastebud. Chinese or Vietnamese antibiotic riddled shrimp? That's what the globalists want you to eat, because they can make money off it.

Dump GATT and WTO rules, and codex alimentarius 'harmonization', and America's food system will be safe and free market again.

“i tell her that that crap is a pale comparison to Alabama wild shrimp...i can tell the difference immediately.”

Anyone who has a sense of taste, and who has tried both, would know the difference. It’s not even close...those shrimp raised in Vietnamese grey-water don’t compare.
