Wild-caught in the Gulf of Alaska, Side-Stripe Shrimp are prized for their texture and clean, sweet taste. They only take a minute or two to cook, as their red/brown color quickly turns bright pink. Smaller than our Spot Prawns, Side-Stripe Shrimp are easy to peel and prepare. Side-Stripe Shrimp is one of the few shrimps you can eat raw.
Sustainability
Wild Alaskan and West Coast shrimping operations stand out since they are primarily community-based, with a great deal of local fisher involvement in management, and long-term sustainability as an important requirement! (ADFG, Spot Shrimp)
