Did you know Shrimp have seasons?
Many of us assume our seafood is always available but shrimp are a seasonal crop. The coastal waters of North Carolina are home to three native shrimp species—brown, white, and pink—each offering its own unique flavor profile throughout their respective seasons.
Thanks to the dedication of skilled crews, specialized gear, and a commitment to responsible fishing practices, these shrimp are responsibly harvested. This means you're not just getting a tasty meal; you're supporting a clean, sustainable catch that benefits both our environment and the vibrant working waterfronts of North Carolina.
In season now, NC Brown Shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus).
