From North to South, we find the best in the Atlantic.
From the wild red shrimp off the Argentine coast to the to it’s smaller northern cousin, we source the deep, icy waters of the Atlantic to bring you what we believe are the best shrimp in the world. The cold water of the northern and southern ends of the Atlantic provides the ideal conditions for these shrimp to develop their rich, complex flavor and texture, making them a pleasure to eat.
Our wild-caught cold-water shrimp are all-natural and preservative free, resulting in a difference you can see and taste.

October is National Seafood Month - Join us all month long to celebrate how sustainable seafood is good for you, and good for the planet. To help you get ready, enjoy one of our favorite recipes, Garlic & Herb Butter Shrimp with grilled corn and crispy leeks. Quick, simple, and easy! The perfect dish to kick off your week.
Preheat your grill until very hot, husk your fresh corn while you are waiting for it to get up to temperature. Place corn directly on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until there’s little charred bits and the kernels are tender. Set aside for later.
Heat your skillet on high until you begin to see smoke, then reduce heat to medium. Add olive oil to the pan and swirl around to coat it evenly. Place shrimp on skillet and allow to sear on both sides until slightly golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add olive oil to the pan, followed by the leeks and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Be sure to let the leeks sear so you get that crispy texture. Add your Bristol compound butter and let it begin to melt. Cut the corn off the cob and add it to your pan along with your shrimp and sauté for another 2 minutes until shrimp are fully cooked.
Serve alongside toasted bread and enjoy!.

September 21st is World Alzheimer’s Day. Did you know that eating at least one serving of seafood a week could help stave off Alzheimer’s disease?
A strong case has been building for the role that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish could play in protecting against Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, according to Martha Clare Morris, director of nutrition and nutritional epidemiology at Rush University Medical Center.
That means that fatty fish, such as anchovies, herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines, bluefin tuna, oysters and mussels can help play a role in keeping you happy and healthy longer!
