Shrimp industry floundering in Maine

I am a Boston resident and maine Shrimp are almost impossible to find down here. When I can find them , I prefer them to anything on the market.

Taste-wise, the Maine variety is far superior to the junk coming from overseas.

Perhaps it is time for a marketing campaign, since the New Orleans supplies are short.

I just bought 10lbs of Maine shrimp right off the boat at Camp Elis up here in maine at the boat dock a dollar a pound can't beat that

I am a shrimp lover myself and apart from the price, a real gourmet always puts his highest priority on the taste.

Even though I do agree that the Maine shripms are among the tastiest to be found, please note: Not everything coming from overseas is junk!

Some of it is junk,but there are plenty of excellent shrimp coming from overseas.

I moved to Florida from Saco Maine 17 years ago and I have eaten shrimp from all over the world.There is no shrimp anywhere I repeat no shrimp better than Maine shrimp. It has clean sweet tast found only in the north atlantic ocean.

Actually, New Caledonian shrimp is the sweetest I have eaten. Now, nothing like a Maine lobster.

Actually, German shrimp are rather brackish. What I meant was, that where ever they come from, it should only be the best. I have a confession to make: I have never tasted Maine shrimp in my whole life.

Nothing beats the taste of Maine shrimp...fried, at Moody's diner in Waldoboro.

The only problem with Maine shrimp is that the season is so short. You can only get them for a few weeks a year so we buy them about every other day during the season. If you've never seen them before you would think they are already cooked because of the pink natural color.

maine shrimp are good when I cooked down in Bar Harbor for the summah I'd always cook a few for me also. but the little neck clams are what I get first every year when I visit

i have also eaten shrimp from florida to maine and lived in portland for a while in the mid 1970s the shrimp from maine are better than any i"ve tried

maine shrimp are small. but what they lack in size they more tham make up with their excellant sweet flavor. when i visit maine i always eat more than my share of shrimp and steamer clams the best in the world !!!!

The season does not really matter as much.

Shrimp are sea insects that eat the feces of fish. So when you eat a shrimp you're eating reprocessed fish sh*t. Congrats.

We are looking to distribute a minimum of 2000lbs of native Maine shrimp a day over the winter months. We can ship the product same day anywhere from Maine to New York.
