I live in FL and there is no domestic shrimp? At least in those two stores.

I do not but foods from non USA producers let alone shrimp from half way around the world.

Please spare me the globalness speech(es).

Is there a fresh seafood store anywhere near TV?

I buy Florida wild-caught shrimp from Fresh Market. It is the only shrimp I will buy in this area. They have a brochure on their various shrimp kinds, and they claim their farm-raised shrimp comes from pristine farm conditions. Still, I stick to the FL wild caught.

Also, there is a seafood stand on 466. Right-hand side going west, I think somewhere between Rolling Acres and Belevedere. Maybe somebody will chime in with the exact location.
