man, I wish they sold em by the quart around where I fish. a 100 shrimp for us is usually $25. sometimes around 20. but at $15 for 80, you cant beat that, but they also got you over a barrel too cuz at 80 it kinda puts you in a median zone of not having enough or having too many depending on the amount of people fishing. so I may come out better overall buying per shrimp

FYI.......some places will sell 1/2 quart at a time.

Well then, your conclusions are pointless

I hear they sell them by the pint and quart size here, quantity per unit is based on the size of the shrimps. Sometimes a quart has 12 schwimps.

Look at it this way . . . 80 shrimp . . . trout limit is 10/person . . .how many people fishing? Do the math . . .even if hardheads eat half, you just got to adjust! . . . I usually get 2 quarts . . .

When I buy a quart of shrimp it usually takes me a while to go through them myself. I would say there are about 50-70 shrimp/qt. avg. depending on the size of them. Large count = less shrimp; small count = more shrimp. If I'm fishing w/ someone else, we'll buy more.
Hopefully that clears it up. LOL...
