All good.

Tallest Oompa Loompa award. I have close ties to the LA shrimping industry; it's on its last leg. There can be no domestic shrimping industry rebound without significant federal subsidies ahead of tariffs. I would say state, but we're already broke.

The shrimp aren't going anywhere. They're an annual crop. Spawns produce millions upon millions each year. Grow incredible fast. If we stopped netting 'em you wouldn't be able to catch a fish b/c they'd all be full!

I've read 55% come from farms, but that's the pathway forward. The old world is passing away like the wake behind Shrimp boats. Its inevitable. In the early 90's shrimp [wild caught] accounted for 85% of the value of edible fisheries production here in LA.

And yep, as usual, we're broke.

……notice that a number of restaurants are putting “imported” along with shrimp dishes on menus…..anybody have an answer to the problem?

The places that have imported shrimp are required to put that sign according to the Department of health. It was a new thing implemented this year. My brother is a health inspector so that’s how I knew the info

Make Gulf of America Great Again.

I've always called it "The Gulf"

When I worked as an X-Ray Technician in the Oilfield "The Gulf"

When friends were going fishing "The Gulf"

Hurricanes "The Gulf"

I'll only use the full name if someone is confused and asks me to be specific.

The shrimping industry has been on it's last legs for the past 50 years. Someone's always going to be out there casting a net.

And then we have a ton of restaurants that have “Fried Fish” on the menu, which means it’s likely ____ imported basa basa or swai from Asia.
