pink shrimp taste good..

[@markthompson9914]

WOW 😮 They’re huge compared to our shrimp. This side o the pond one that’s smaller than your pinky finger is a AA or jumbo, and we’re selling for a £1 a pint. That’s what we were getting, so what the price at the consumer end was, god only knows.

Hey Mark - the pinks you have are probably kin to the pinks in Alaska coming from the caridean species. Small yet very flavorful shrimp. The Florida pinks are from the duorarum species which tends to be a larger shrimp. We used to call ours 'popcorn shrimp' but the official sizing was 'cocktail'.

@@denali9449 I can say the name of our species but I’m not even gonna try to spell it 😂
