Shrimp is the most popular seafood in the United States, with consumption increasing an average of 33 million pounds a year every year since 1980. These shrimp boats are part of the fleet that catches these wild shrimp and deliver them to your plate.

Shrimp naturally thrive in Georgia's coastal waters, and their presence has influenced a way of life.

This area features wild Georgia shrimp that are netted directly from their natural environment and delivered to the dock on a daily basis.

Warm-water wild-caught shrimp flourish in nutrient-rich Georgia marshlands, migrating to the ocean and growing naturally in the wild to be fished by shrimpers who trawl the seas from April through January for fresh, daily catches of the popular crustacean. Through decades of experience studying ocean tides, weather and shrimp-schooling behavior, generations of Georgia shrimpers have honed their trawling art to a science, netting millions of pounds of wild-caught shrimp and delivering it fresh to certified Georgia docks.
