HOT! HOT! BIG SALE ON LOUISIANA SHRIMP!
by arabellastation, May 15, 2009 | Permalink
Right now, the Arabella Station, Veterans, and Baton Rouge stores are selling fresh Louisiana shrimp for $4.99/lb and boiled Louisiana shrimp for $6.99/lb! The stores source shrimp from Lance Nacio’s Anna Marie Seafood in the Terrebonne Basin.
Lance uses sustainable harvesting methods, new technology, and no chemicals or preservatives. His special escapement equipment allows birds and turtles to escape should they become entangled in the nets, and Lance limits trawl times to 30 minutes which allows for most of the bycatch to be returned to the water alive.
Once the shrimp are hauled aboard, they are immediately sorted and deep-chilled before being individually quick frozen, less than one hour after harvest and right aboard the boat using an ultra low temperature freezer. Many other shrimpers hold their catch on ice for days before they are frozen back on shore, so with Lance’s shrimp, it’s the freshest possible!
In addition, Lance does not use chemicals or preservatives when processing the shrimp. Many processors use chemicals to make shrimp retain water weight, which means that folks pay for the weight of the water in addition to the shrimp. When you purchase shrimp from Whole Foods Market, it’s 100% shrimp!
Celebrate the opening of shrimp season!
