Fresh from the SourceWild American Shrimp are ocean-fresh and harvested from the pristine waters of the Gulf and South Atlantic. Wild American Shrimp have a fresh, clean, sweet flavor that’s beyond comparison. And at Henry's, all of our shrimp is guaranteed to be free of chemicals ad fillers. Commitment to the Environment American shrimpers consider themselves stewards of the ocean – and they take their commitment to the environment very seriously. Over the years, their commitment has changed the face of shrimping, helping to preserve the ocean and keep Wild American Shrimp on your family table. Technological Developments: To reduce bycatch, the event where fish or seafood other than shrimp enters the net, members of the Wild American Shrimp co-op developed a Bycatch Reduction Device (BRD), which allows small fish to escape from shrimp nets. For some species, it has reduced bycatch by 50%. Regulation: Shrimpers instituted a regulation that prohibits fishing in areas known to be shrimp “nurseries” and agreed to fish only in areas where large mature shrimp exist. This keeps Wild American Shrimp sustainable and reduces the risk of over-fishing. Education by example: Shrimpers teach the benefits of preserving the ocean’s ecosystem by example, every day. When the shrimp industry heard the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle was classified as endangered, they helped protect the nests of sea turtles along Mexico’s coast. The result was dramatic, with an increase in the number of nests from 702 in 1985 to 6,054 by 2000.
