The two main seasons for White Canaveral shrimp are late spring to June and fall until the dead of Winter comes in January. They move down the coast of Florida seeking warmer water, ending their journey on vast shoals just offshore of Cape Canaveral. Due to their preference for more brackish, low salinity waters, White Canaveral Shrimp are sweet and tender -- the preferred choice of shrimp boat captains and local coastal residents.
Our shrimp are all Wild-Caught and as such are not fed antibiotics or hormones. When caught at sea, they are Individually quickly frozen (IQF) to preserve their freshness and taste. Our shrimp are sustainable. Our shrimp boast are compliant with federal regulations that mandate TEDs (Turtle Exclusions Devices), tracking devices and non-shrimping on the Oculina Reef.
These shrimp taste nothing like their farm-raised counterparts; they are tender, flavorful and just impressive. We do not add sodium triphosphate, which is very common in imported shrimp, hence there is not soapy aftertaste and all you can taste is flavor. Locals simply love the shrimp and we are you sure you will too.
Our shrimp is Wild-Caught off the East Coast of Florida.
Once caught, the shrimp are Individually quickly frozen, at sea, to preserve their freshness. Our shrimp are sustainable and are caught using devices that exclude other species of sea animals.

We ship two-day air because our product is highly perishable.
***Please ask about Sodium Bisulfate; it is very rare that the shrimp boats we deal with use it (when they freeze product) but there have been a couple of instances with the older shrimp boats that are equipped with it. We test for it, so please ask.
