Shrimp Product Forms:

A variety of shrimp products can be purchased locally, both fresh and fresh frozen. Whole and headless (shell on) fresh shrimp is commonly available from our local shrimp fleet. In addition, peeled and peeled-deveined shrimp are also available from local processing plants.

Fresh shrimp bought direct from commercial fishers can be either whole or headless. Most inshore boats store their catch on ice and come to port daily or every few days. Many of the local larger offshore boats bring in heads-on, individually quick frozen (IQF) frozen shrimp. These IQF shrimp are brine frozen at sea in mesh bags similar to crawfish sacks. Freezing allows for extended time (sometimes weeks) at sea. Well handled frozen shrimp is an excellent product.

Fresh Shrimp: Shrimp should have a mild sea breeze, ocean smell. Shells should hold tightly to the flesh and legs should be intact. Meat should be firm and translucent. Avoid product with any scent of ammonia. Nothing tastes better than fresh shrimp right off the boat.

Frozen Shrimp: Shrimp can be purchased block frozen from processing plants or individually quick frozen (IQF). Shrimp should be frozen solid and properly glazed to prevent dehydration and freezer burn. Many consumers prefer frozen product due to ease of handling and storage. Frozen shrimp in most forms can be purchased by the 5-lb box or by the 50 pound case. IQF shrimp headless or peeled from the processor plants are sold in 5 pound bags or 20 pound cases. Boat frozen IQF shrimp are stored and sold in 70-75 pound bags. Frozen shrimp are available year round and the next best thing to fresh shrimp.

Shrimp Sizes (count):

Consumers often find shrimp being sold by sizes such as large, medium and small. These categories can have different meanings and be confusing. For example medium sized shrimp at one place can be a considered large shrimp at another. Shrimp size standards have been developed to help solve this problem. Larger shrimp are usually cost more than small shrimp. Headless shrimp will also cost more than a heads-on shrimp of the same count size.

Shrimp count will increase by 2 counts sizes when the head is removed and 1 more count size when the shell is removed. A 16/20 heads-on shrimp become a 26/30 when the head is removed and then a 31/35 when peeled.
