Frozen Shrimp with no Chemical Preservatives?

[Kasey Grohowski]

Looking for wild caught frozen shrimp with no chemical preservatives, I currently feed my sharks wild caught shrimp and calamari. The shrimp has a preservative (sodium bisulfite) and the calamari does not. I can't seem to find wild caught shrimp without chemical preservatives so any help with direction would be much appreciated.

You can ask a fish market about the shrimp they get, it might be pricey compared to frozen.

I get my shrimp from
a butcher shop, wild-caught and no preservatives..... I think you’re gonna have to work on local options. I live in the land of hipsters and crunchy hippies, which has its advantages

Actually I think wegmans has wild caught no preservatives. I'll have to go there and double check.

Do you freeze your shrimp?

I get my frozen shrimp from Walmart, here's the ingredients: shrimp, water, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate(to retain moisture). I'm kinda a snob so buying my shrimp from Walmart bugged me, but I had the same problem trying to find frozen shrimp without additives. While stpp is probably not that great, it's the safest route I've found. While finding a fresh alternative may be your only other option.

Yes I have to look around, not much in my area.

Wegmans has wild caught shrimp with no preservatives.

I have had luck getting fresh seafood (shrimp, clams, etc) from the Asian markets in my area, I am located in Chicago and have the luck of being near 2. I would recommend checking one out if you are near one.

The cost is extremely consumer friendly, and many varieties are available.

I do freeze the seafood I buy from there, as I look at freezing fresh seafood with 0 preservatives as better than buying frozen seafood with preservatives.

You can often find Patagonia pink shrimp with just salt. Trader Joe’s or a Kroger’s will often have them.

I get my wild caught shrimp and clams from Wegmans and my local price chopper. Occasionally I have to specifically request the stuff at price chopper but they come within a few days.
