The northern shrimp season ends Monday, February 28th — not much time left to stock up for the year! Here’s the latest on availability from the [2] F/V Rimrack, with a brilliant idea for freezing them unpeeled!

Unexpected last tow today

Looks like the unexpected happened today as the last tow brought up some great shrimp! We’re headed out to the same spot tomorrow morning. Give a call (603.343.1500) after 12pm to get updated info on shrimp quality for tomorrow’s landing (probably around 4:30pm — but call for confirmation!).

 

After a terrific season, these shrimp are moving more offshore now mixing with the younger, smaller ones making the peeling more of a challenge. Let’s hope for another chance to grab some big ones before Monday. We’ll post with news tomorrow as soon as we hear from Mike!!

 

BTW, due to the overwhelming success of the 5 gal/$40 bucket option, we’ll definitely be offering this option next year.

 

Check out my individually frozen headed-shrimp. I pile them in zip-lock bags and can easily take out what I want as needed. You just have to deal with taking the shell off later.

 

Thursday morning update: 9am — Good news! Our first tow today brought up a great run of shrimp. We plan to be at the dock tonight at Rye Harbor at 4:45pm.
