Mississippi Gulf Coast Shrimp Scam Busted. 80% of “Gulf shrimp” is imported from other Countries. SeaD Consulting, a firm that specializes in genetic testing to monitor mislabeling and substitution fraud in the seafood industry, conducted a comprehensive investigation into the potential misrepresentation of shrimp served across coastal Mississippi.
39% of Gulf White Shrimp served was not local: Of 44 restaurants sampled and genetically tested, 17 establishments served imported shrimp while marketing it as local Gulf White Shrimp.
92% of Royal Red Shrimp served was not local: 22 of 24 restaurants that had Royal Red Shrimp listed on their menu admitted to serving inferior, lower-value Argentinian shrimp instead of the FDA-name-protected Gulf Royal Red Shrimp that was being advertised.
82% of the restaurants were defrauding consumers about what they were buying. Cross-referencing the Royal Red data with the local caught Gulf White Shrimp data determined that only 8 restaurants were honestly serving what they were advertising.
