I am throwing a big party for my 25th birthday this month and I am looking at buying some fresh shrimp off the internet. I want them fresh, never frozen. anyone ever do this before?
As long as they are flash frozen soon after being caught they are probably better frozen. Fresh fish that has not been frozen will only last like 2 days before it gets nasty.
This has fail written all over it..... or so I would say if I havent done this before.
Ive ordered live lobster from maine multiple times. Every shipment the meat arrived cold, fresh, (and most importantly for lobster) alive. On top of that, its still cheaper than buying the crap they stock at meijer, tastes better too.
Though, the only reason I ordered from this company was because I buy fish from them off their wharf when I spend time out there. There was already a decent level of trust.
If you don't mind a drive, there is a shrimp farm on Meridian Road just south of Grand River near Okemos. They have some weird hours, so call them for details. If you call ahead they will prep them for you and de-vein them. They have some monster sized jumbo shrimp, which I would think is an oxymoron...
I have 2 suggestions, if you are near royal oak, Superior Fish Market has fresh stuff
the other is saltwater.com will ship live stuff, but it gets expensive to eat them. If you go this route, let me know if the pepermint shrimp taste like peppermint.
Thanks guys, I figured someone on here had experience with this. I am looking for the really big shrimp, 6 to 10 per LB. If I wanted frozen shrimp I would go to meijers.oke: i do a TON of fishing and freezing fish always detracts from the flavor. always. I am going to have to look into the shrimp farm.
I always do. If you count on other people to do something they always do it wrong.:fish:
Hi. Its 2010. we have airplanes. this enables us to ship things from point A to point B in 24 hours. If I bought them tomorrow morning I could eat them for dinner the next day.
