You might be surprised.... Lotta places claiming its fresh, aint sellin fresh. Lotta places are all using imported, coated in preservatives. You dont even wanna start watching videos on how they prepare "fresh" seafood that is being shipped across the globe to go in supermarkets.

>A new testing study has come out that shows an alarming number of restaurants are marketing their shrimp as U.S. wild-caught shrimp when they are actually imported.
>From June 23 to 26, SeaD Consulting—commissioned by the Southern Shrimp Alliance conducted scientific genetic testing on shrimp dishes served at 44 seafood restaurants across Jackson and surrounding areas.
>Using its patented RIGHTTest™ (Rapid ID Genetic High-Accuracy Test), SeaD Consulting identified whether the shrimp being served was genuine U.S. wild-caught shrimp or imported shrimp.
>Only 14 of the 44 restaurants tested in the Jackson area were found to be serving authentic domestic wild-caught shrimp, as either implied or explicitly advertised.
>The remaining 30 restaurants were found to be serving imported shrimp instead of wild-caught shrimp to consumers in the dishes tested.
>SeaD’s investigation concluded that 18 dishes tested appeared to be explicitly inauthentic based on menu or staff claims, while 10 were determined to be implicitly inauthentic based on each restaurant’s decor, location, or branding.
>Two restaurants openly admitted to serving imported shrimp despite the fact that their advertising appeared to imply that the shrimp their restaurants served was local or wild-caught, and they had no notices or signs posted indicating that they serve imported shrimp at the time the sample was obtained.
Lotta grocery stores do the leadco shuffle and take old expired meat, run it thru the grinder with flavoring and coloring and repackage it as new. Its bad bad out there bud
