As I understand it, almost all shrimp is frozen immediately after it is caught. It is virtually impossible to buy fresh, never frozen shrimp, except off of the boat. When buying shrimp in the grocery store, you should buy it frozen, and thaw it yourself. It is better than the previously frozen shrimp sold by the store in their seafood case. Publix sells never frozen fish, but they never claim to sell "fresh" shrimp.
