Friends Don’t Let Friends Eat Imported Seafood
In the tiny village of McClellanville, (pop. circa 560), there has been a thriving industry of fishing, shrimping, crabbing, clamming, and other ocean-related vocations. In the last few years, non-American fleets have invaded our waters with definitely sub-standard, frozen merchandise. They buy fuel cheaper, pay less and, in general are slowly eroding what was once our thriving seafood industry. Do you have any idea how hard a shrimper works? How dangerous the job is? How good our FRESH seafood is? Most people don’t realize that most of the seafood they buy in local restaurants actually are harvested by huge fleets from the Far East. The next time you think of ordering seafood, ask your server or the manager where their seafood was harvested. As the saying goes here: “Friends don’t let friends eat imported seafood.” Please help this tiny pocket of American industry survive. Don’t buy imported seafood!!!
