My dad and I installed a few IQF systems in their boats and at their houses and they paid us in shrimp because they have so much and they are not making any money.
I got 100 lbs. of fresh headed shrimp last time I was home for 1 days work.
They are selling the jumbo shrimp off the boats for around $2.50 to $3.50 per pound.
When I was off work, they had 31/35's, 21/25's, 16/20's with some 10/15's mixed in.
My wife liked shrimp until she married me. I get 400 to 500 lbs. a year for refrigeration work.

Ray, you may know my uncle and cousin if you do refrigeration work. They are Guidry's from Lake Arthur.
