It’s pretty simple… Wild American Shrimp are THE best-tasting shrimp.

Why? Because the nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico are embedded with a unique flavor profile that is absorbed into shrimp to provide an unmistakable, robust taste. And we happen to believe there’s just really nothing like them.

We also believe that every shrimp has a tail, but it is our shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico that have a rich story – and we want you to be a part of that!
