Wild Shrimp vs Farmed Shrimp

There’s a sea of difference

Wild blue shrimp are more flavorful because they are sustainably caught in the ocean and eat a natural diet of crustaceans and small fish.

On the other hand, farmed shrimp are often fed a diet of grains and other fillers that are highly processed, which results in less flavor — and nutrients.

Our wild blue shrimp are caught by artisanal sailboats — which have FAR less impact on the environment than the mass-production methods used for farmed shrimp.

When you choose wild blue shrimp, you can feel good knowing that you are supporting environmentally friendly practices.

The texture of wild blue shrimp is firm and succulent compared to farmed shrimp which can often be mushy and lack that satisfying “snap” when you bite into them.

Eating wild shrimp can be a culinary experience that excites your taste buds and makes you feel like a gourmet chef — not to mention how quick and convenient they are to cook for busy weeknight dinners.

Most of the shrimp you see at supermarkets, grocery stores and restaurants is, unfortunately, farmed. We have Wild Blue Shrimp in stock, one of the most delicious species of shrimp on the planet. Get yours while they’re still available:
