here it is more comical . the west coast of Bc where i live is a big
harvester of shrimps but they are sold to plants ( most in the us ) to be
cooked and come back to stores here. i can harvest shrimps myself late fall
to middle of winter when they come close to shore to spawn.At that time they
are full of eggs and delicious .frozen shrimps eaten raw have lost most of
their flavor .
