Find U.S. Wild-Caught Shrimp

Restaurants selling U.S. wild-caught shrimp as advertised

The Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA) is taking aggressive action to address the deceptive marketing of farm-raised imported shrimp as U.S. wild-caught shrimp, funding cutting-edge genetic testing of shrimp served at a random selection of restaurants across the Gulf Coast and South Atlantic through SeaD Consulting. The results reveal a pervasive problem of false advertising, seafood substitution, and economic fraud, further underscoring the need for stronger laws at both the state and federal levels to prevent consumer deception.

We celebrate these restaurants found to be serving U.S. wild-caught shrimp!
