Mexican wild caught shrimp come from a nutrient-rich current of the oceans or bays, where the underwater habitat is pure and the climate creates ideal temperatures. Mexico is one of the largest producers of white shrimp, which are of the species Penaeus Vannamei, Stylirostris, and Occidentalis.    These are the most popular shrimp on the market because of its delicate flavor, firm texture, and uniform color.     

Most warm water shrimp are categorized by the color of their shell (not the meat) when raw—White, Brown or Pink . Deep Sea sells both free range (headless, shell-on) from the Sea of Cortez and farm-raised shrimp from the state of Sonora, Mexico.  

All of our shrimp is packed in five pound frozen blocks, 10 to a master carton with a net weight of 50 pounds.

Farm-raised shrimp grows in close-to-shore freshwater ponds that mimic habitats of wild shrimp for consistent quality and freshness. Shrimp eggs or larvae are grown in hatcheries after being taken from female brood stock. The shrimp are then raised to maturity in nutrient-rich ponds which give them a milder flavor and rich texture.
