First let me say I am aware that fresh Gulf caught shrimp is the BEST and on occasion my local grocery store has it and I snatch it up. But frozen shrimp is so easy and makes an quick meal. But I have found that most of the frozen shrimp or the shrimp in the shrimp rings is from Taiwan. I am not so hard core that I haven't purchased it. My thought on the subject is if you go somewhere and they warn you not to drink the water I get an eerie feeling in the pit of my stomach when I eat seafood that by nature of the name come from that very water.
In recent months I have found Cox's Seafood Shrimp in the freezer near the fresh seafood counter.
As my fellow shoppers that day looked at me quizically as I said quote "YES, a product of the USA".
Plus on top of it all it was on sale for $4.99 I only wish I had purchased several bags. I want to make sure my local store continues to stock it so I plan on adding a bag to my weekly grocery list.
Call me idealist but I think this is a way to make my dollars speak.
