Trouble sourcing raw shrimp for puffer

[Reefs and Geeks]

I've been having alot of trouble trying to find raw shrimp and other shellfish for my puffer to eat. I normally get a pound of seafood meadly from wholefoods for like $10, but they haven't had it, and now seems like many stores around me are no longer stocking frozen raw shrimp or other raw seafoods.

Does anyone know where I can find some reasonably priced raw food for my puffer?

Also, I tried reading up on feeding cooked shrimp and the consensuses seems that raw is ideal, but unsure how bad cooked would really be. Would cooked shrimp be acceptable to feed for a while until I'm able to find raw somewhere?

We’ve fed our Valentini puffer frozen shrimp in worse case scenarios. We have a bag in our freezer from Costco. I do agree fresh is better but when you’re in a bind that’ll do the trick.
I should mention we thaw the shrimp in a separate cup of tank water.

You live in Pittsburg and can't find either a fish market or a bag of raw frozen shrimp?

I feed boiled shrimp on occasion. No harm done over time.

Try another supermarket.
Plenty of frozen near me on LI.

Normally I don't have an issue finding raw, but I'm staying strictly quarantined at home other than grocery pick ups where they put the food directly into my trunk, and I sanitize everything before bringing into the house. I have a newborn and someone who is at high risk for Covid-19 so I'm avoiding going into stores as much as possible as a precaution. I've tried several times to get frozen raw shrimp or other seafood, but either they don't have any, or have substituted with cooked. Normally I'd just go in and find something else, but hasn't been that easy for me.

If you can find it at the LFS or online Omega One offers a frozen whole Alaskan shrimp product. Not exactly fresh what like what you are looking for, but at least not cooked either.
