Here are the processes in which we freeze our

shrimp......


1.) The shrimp are first chilled at 34°F in an iced seawater. They are weighed, bagged, and boxed, and loaded into the 45°F deck freezer aboard the M/V Mariah Jade & M/V Daytin & Destin to be quick-frozen. The process in which we complete these will leave them tasting like they just came out of the water. Once unloaded off of the vessels, they are stored at 10°F and ready for delivery.
2.) The shrimp are washed and chilled in seawater, sacked into 30 to 35 pounds sacks and placed in -5°F brine freezing tank. After spending 12 to 15 minutes in the tank, they are lift out and placed in a 0°F deck freezer aboard the vessel. Once unloaded on shore, they are placed in a freezer at our facility ready for delivery.
3.) We unload day boats which bring in fresh beautiful Louisiana shrimp. They are placed in a chilled 34°F slush vat (water and ice), loaded on to a conveyor. The shrimp are led through a CO2 tunnel and frozen at a -100°F temperature, bagged, boxed and palletized right in our facility ready for delivery.
