What we get can be called fresh frozen. The one major exception I can think of is farm raised fish.

I think Publix sells a lot of farm raised fish and some wild caught fish. Some of their farm raised fish is labeled "never frozen". But, they don't label shrimp as "fresh" or "never frozen" or "fresh frozen". Sometimes they label shrimp as "previously frozen". When I buy shrimp, I always buy it frozen. It someone is selling "fresh" shrimp, they are probably not being honest.
