Sun Shrimp, St. James City

In Pine Island, Sun Shrimp farmers grow Pacific White or Ecuadorean Whites (Penaeus vannamei) without preservatives, and ship them fresh immediately after harvest. They start with breeder shrimp that produce strong, large shrimp. Hatched shrimp grow in larvae culture tanks for three weeks, and then head to grow-out tanks. When they’re ready for harvest, shrimp are washed, graded and packed for delivery to clients, including restaurants like Michael’s Genuine.
