@everittdmickey thanks for this great response. I assume Texas Shrimp is tasty. Yes, buy locally if you have the chance and if it comes from sustainable fishing.

Oh NOT just fishing. Texas has Shrimp Farms too.

According to the Texas Department of Agriculture there was Two Million pounds (2,000,000 / 2,000 = 200,000 tons. 1/3 that of Thailand not counting the boats) of shrimp grown in Texas in 2012. Odds are there is more of it grown now than then.

Shrimp are not fed grass....?

:) I read his response in a humerous way with gras fed meaning living in their natural habitat etc.
