Buying Shrimp

[marybna]

I read about this great place to buy shrimp behind a Pemex station but I can't remeber the name to tell my friends about it. What is the name?

Seafood Industries Two story blue Bld.

On Sinaloa...very good buys... try the smoked marlin too.

Thank you. I got such great ideas here especially on eating.

We would like to buy our shrimp this year from Seafood Industries. We buy quite a bit 20 to 30 lbs at a time. I'm told it is not sold by the pound but by the kilo which is 2.2 lbs. And, I'm told it's frozen. Is it frozen in big blocks? I'm trying to determine how many kilos will fit in a standard size cooler. Can you buy it in a smaller amount such as a 1/2 kilo? Thanks!

Don't know if you can buy smaller amounts...but it's sold in 2 kilo blocks....roughly 2 in. thick by 12-14 inch square....used up my jumbo under 10's a while back. It's packed in a cardboard box. I didn't have any problem fitting it in a cooler (size wise.)

I posted this in another thread but you can buy the cleaners for the shrimp for 3.00 a piece at Playa de Oro RV Park.

Does anyone know what the 2 kilo block is going for at the moment? Big Blues - large browns? Thanks.

actually they are 1.8 kilos or 4 lbs. Leigh

When I was buying them they were 2 kilos for 500 pesos but that was a while ago. Been gone fora while, sad to say.
