That is my greatest rant...wife hates to take me to the store anymore. I live 120 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. How in the heck can they farm raise shrimp in Vietnam, freeze it and fly it to Texas cheaper than we can produce it locally? I got to talking to some Vietnamese shrimpers in Rockport Tx.
