In those days, the "farm-raised" shrimp were sold to the bait stores.
You could buy a dozen for a dollar. Live. Great bait for the smaller
fish, like whiting, flounder, redfish, porgies, et cetera.

I never saw a farm raised bait shrimp but maybe it is just because
there were always plenty of day boats around selling them.



I've noticed that most of the pre-cooked shrimp sold in the major
supermarkets are farm raised. I used to enjoy them until I read this:

In that regard, the wild caught tiger shrimp might actually be pretty
good. My experience is from those grown in a Thai septic tank.


Ever been to a beef slaughterhouse? I visited a couple as a newspaper
reporter. Blech.
