I like shrimp for eating and for bait. My wife love's shrimp! But its the eating shrimp we are so often disappointed with in the Southern Midwest-Kansas. I am not sure if shrimp laying on ice in our meat departments were never frozen and shipped on ice, or frozen or flash frozen to ship, then thawed for presentation on the ice beds?
Sometimes we find those not much better than the "fresh caught" bagged raw frozen shrimp.
> We are thinking about a trip to some coast or to some country just to enjoy fresh off the boat shrimp. Any time on the coast is welcome, but good shrimp (and fresh fish as well) is the bonus. Where should we go?

Dunno where to go for fresh shrimp anywhere anymore. I’d say down to some Louisiana bayou or the Gulf….but that BP oil spill wrecked all of that several years ago, didn’t it?

My favorite chef was Justin Wilson. Remember him? “Oooooweeee dat’s goooood I garontee!” The old Cajun cook that used to be on TV.

I have one of his cook books..and this is my fav shrimp recipe from it. Try it!

Aw... C'mon! Your shrimp are fine. They're just suffering from butter and garlic deficiency!
I swear, if you put enough butter and garlic on 'em, people would eat snails!
Oh... wait...
nevermind.

Seriously... (sorta) WA has some good shrimp but the shrimp season turns into a bumper boat, pirate event with a bunch of old guys sitting around in boats drinking beer all day and robbing each other's shrimp pots. At least it gives them a break from the crabbing season when a bunch of old guys sit around in boats drinking beer all day and rob each other's crab pots.
