Question:

Could you talk about sources and sustainability for Amaebi- sweet shrimp?

— Brenda LaMont

Answer:

I'll talk about sustainability. Yes. That's a very very specific question and I Would say so they for sushi there are two types of two ways of presenting the serving shrimp for sushi and a one-way is to cook it and boil it and then cut it and open it and then put it on their Sushi or inserted in the Maki or they roll shrimp. And then this Rose shrimp is usually a type of shrimp called Amy. So the that's the what I know about our baby and then maybe you can add something burden. Sure. Sure. I don't know what species exactly is used in Japan. But I do know that I what I believe is the difference here is that shrimp is typically what we consider shrimp is typically warm water. Shrimp white brown pink tiger shrimp those four species. That's typically what's Farm. That's what's got in the wild. And that's what your shrimp cocktail is. Sweet. Shrimp are Northern shrimp or cold water shrimp and the best sustainable source for those across the Pacific Northwest in California specifically up in Alaska the spot prawn fishery as well as the side stripe fishery. Both of those are great great options. And when in season can be found around you can find them Frozen as well a great quality product Frozen, but those are even shipped live by some very high-end specialty prepares like Regal Foods r e g a l i s really great high quality high-end the highest end ingredient Market that I know of but check those out Alaskan spot prawns or side stripe shrimp.
