We’ve developed a controlled environment aquaculture system that has been refined over 15 years. Once shrimp are stocked, we feed them and the system components mimic the ocean’s circular ecology to produce beautiful 1 ounce shrimp in as little as 3 months.
Chefs and Home Cooks have prepared these in a myriad of ways from crudos to soups to fried or grilled. We suggest treating these prawns like you would fresh pasta, do not overcook them! High heat frying, grilling or baking techniques for just a minute or two will optimize the flavor and texture.
Oxidation or melanosis will occur faster than you are used to from preserved commodity shrimp. While not spoiled, blackening of the head and shell can be avoided. Please follow these guidelines:
Our products cost more because it costs more to do things the right way... However, our product has a ton of value beyond just your average shrimp tail!
Growing up as an avid fisher in upstate New York, Steve worked as a fisherman, fisheries biologist, then pursued a masters degree in aquaculture and ended up spending close to a decade managing aquaculture farms overseas. It was there he bore witness to the environmental destruction, fraud, and chemical use that affect over most of the shrimp Americans eat today.
Sustainability We believe that environmental and financial sustainability go hand in hand. For-profit innovations make examples that cause movements.
