Well that's just those people. I don't really care for us bred or imported. I've heard of parasite and such. But I haven't came across any on my shrimps. TBH it's your own opinion really. US bred shrimp did come from overseas at one point. Sometime I just feel like it's just a market thing for the US people, they prefer American made lol. All my shrimp orders with Joe has been great and no sign of abnormal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
