Testing of 44 restaurants before a new state seafood labeling law took effect found only 14 served authentic U.S. wild-caught shrimp. Eighteen dishes were explicitly misleading, and 10 implicitly so. Imported shrimp often lack the quality and labor standards of domestic shrimp, threatening local fisheries. The Southern Shrimp Alliance urges consumers to request proof of shrimp origin, hoping new labeling laws improve transparency and protect local livelihoods.
