One of the best methods of preserving our Shrimp is IQF. IQF stands for Individually Quick Frozen. When we IQF shrimp it has distinct advantages and some disadvantages as well. One of the main advantages are that the shrimp are frozen just after they are harvested. This preserves the freshness. The other advantage is that we can separate the shrimp in 50-60 LBS lots and they can be held in the freezer and thawed for consumption in any amount. If you want to have one shrimp you just grab it out of the freezer. The choice is up to you. 1 or 100, the rest of the shrimp will remain frozen and available. The disadvantages are small. First being that the head is not as good for consumption as with fresh (only a small percentage of folks eat the head of the shrimp). The second is that the Legs, Tail and other parts of the shrimp may break off due to being brittle (this may make the shrimp less attractive for shrimp cocktail for instance). Take a look at the pictures and see what the IQF Shrimp look like as they are prepared for eating. From freezer to ready to cook. FYI if you shop at a seafood market and they state "Fresh Previously Frozen" this is likely IQF Shrimp.

There are different types of Shrimp that are available from the waters of N.E. Florida. Primarily two main varieties and then also the way that these variety's are prepared for shipments to the customers that will consume these shrimp harvests.

In this post we will discuss briefly the white shrimp (Penaeus setiferus). This variety is the one that we will be selling and delivering to the Orange Park, Fleming Island and Green Cove Springs area.

This variety is considered by many to be the best tasting shrimp you can get anywhere in the USA. The also are a large vareity and are easier to prepare for eating.

The White Shrimp is the most prevalent in our area, they are grayish white with a green, red or blue tinge on the tail and legs. These shrimp are harvested by us in the Atlantic Ocean ranging from Southern Georgia down to around Cape Canaveral Florida.

There are several ways that we preserve and supply this type of Shrimp to the public. The different methods have advantages. I will discuss them in a follow up post to this one. Also we will discuss the Brown Shrimp which is native to the NE Florida region as well.
