I am very much a "shrimp" fan. I agree with your overall conclusion. I sit and watch and know that :Cheese Curds" are a staple of life I'm from WI, . I think Texas/Gulf of Mexico Shrimp are the best.

I don't like the taste of the baja shrimp I prefer shrimp from Pacific Ocean then you will see the difference,smell and taste.

Your unidentified shrimp was probably Pacific white shrimp. If you get local grown (such as we get seasonally in Texas) it is as good as a tiger from overseas and wild Gulf caught. All depends on the cooking style and your own taste buds, unless the shrimp has gone bad. In a shrimp boil, always add a good amount of vinegar to the water (acidify it) and you will notice how any shrimp will be firmer and pick up the seasoning. Great comparison and keep enjoying seafood.

Thanks for this review friend! Never could decide which one's were the better shrimp for the buck! 😉 Greatly appreciated! Will be trying the Black Tiger shrimp for sure!

great review! interesting to watching :D

shrimp need old bay, all I buy is gulf shrimp, does not need to be from the U.S. but from the gulf

Interesting demonstration and comparisons, TTM. And now I'm hungry for shrimp! (:

I LOVE shrimp!! Wild or farm.. i am not picky ~ lol Thanks for a GREAT video.. Very informative! and yes - LOVE Black tiger Shrimp!!

Which ones are the most sustainable shrimp out of the bunch?

Nice review Jim! I like shrimp.... :)

I got a hair up my ass a couple of years ago and bought the wild shrimp. I liked it, but to this day I'm pissed off about spending over double for something that was only slightly better in my opinion

Good review Jim. I HATE farm raised shrimp, mainly because I grew up in N.C. and used to be able to get good shrimp right off the boats. Wild shrimp will often have an 'iodine' taste to them which is perfectly normal and it depends on the salinity of the water where they caught in. This is probably the weird taste your wife was referring to.

Hi Jim, I love shrimp so I would love them all tfs.

nice review on these different shrimps

Great video! I love shrimp, but I don't know much about different brands or species. That is some very useful information.

We love shrimp Jim :-) A "BIG" thumbs up :-) Our 49ers are still losing :-( I just made another BBQ video :-) Have a great week my friend :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!!

I Buy Wild Caught American Gulf Shrimp....I Don't Mess with Sewer Shrimp.

Jim, I love these comparison reviews!! I've always wanted to know which shrimp is really best. Now I've got to get some black tiger shrimp! Thanks for running this valuable test! I really appreciate it!

I discovered black tiger shrimp a year ago and never looked back, lol
