Eco friendly shrimp production

Tor-Eddie Fossbakk A press release from CleanFish said that Laughing Bird Caribbean White Shrimp was farmed with attention to the health of the animal, the environment and the people who consume it. It comes from a closed-loop aquaculture system that sets the gold standard for shrimp farmed globally in terms of land use, water reuse, lined ponds and stocks of highly monitored, healthy shrimp. The company claims the shrimp is suited to environmentalists by provenance and to seafood lovers for its pure, sweet flavor. It’s not only pleasing to the conscience and the palate; when cooked, Laughing Bird Caribbean White Shrimp turns a deep, carnelian red, and caramelizes beautifully because it’s never been frozen. “Chefs today want to cook with excellence, openness and integrity, using the purest ingredients. That’s what sets the Laughing Bird shrimp apart — it is a superior product that will impress chefs and consumers who have high standards for both taste and environmental stewardship,” Tim O’Shea, founder and CEO of CleanFish, said in the press release. CleanFish sources and promotes top quality seafood that is safe and sustainable. As a national fish brokerage and branding service, CleanFish functions as a market champion for small-scale fishermen and artisanal fish farmers, bringing wild-caught and sustainably farmed fish to restaurants, retailers and seafood distributors who form the CleanFish Alliance for Sustainable Seafood.
