I cannot decide whether to think cheap imported shrimp is good dor bad but it is driving many shrimpers out of bus. Given that shrimping has been of low profitiabiluity in the past few years, the shrimp boats are in poor repair. I saw one boat here that had a large sheet of plywood screwed over a large hole in the side and she has been out shrimping many times like this. Some are just being allowed to sink at their berths....sorta sad. The same is true in Charleston. The boats cost just too much, especially in fuel, for the return on investment. Shrimp is very cheap compared to other seafoods and it's driving our shrimp fleet out of business, too. Big oil and the bankers must be very proud..... Larry HUH? Are you related to Harry, Larry?
