If you like shrimp, you better buy it this weekend!

When that oil slick hits the Gulf Coast, you can expect black tar prawns for some time to come. :'(

That's a shame.

That's a shame.

No kidding. I really like Long John Silvers shrimp. Now what do I do!

 

[eldorado99]

You'll have to switch to lobster!

Get ur ass to Red Lobstah!

 

[TallBill]

Wow, I had no idea about the leak. Ocean is gonna be nasty for a while!

 

[uclaLabrat]

Is that really going to affect the shrimp, though? I mean, all that oil is just floating on the surface, I thought shrimp lived near the bottom? Or does it just mess up their ability to catch them?

I don't believe a fast food place like LJS gets their shrimp from the gulf. Anybody know for sure?

We import an assload of shrimp. I imagine that the local economy will be hurt on the Gulf Coast, but it's not like all the shrimp will dry up because we're importing a lot of it and there are also land-locked farms in the South and in Texas.

A lot of shrimp is captive "farm raised" and a lot is imported from Asia and South and Central America. I doubt there will be any serious disruption in the global supply.

all the shrimp i eat comes from vietnam

but uhm, crawfish?

The price will go up. It's a knee-jerk reaction. Just like gas went up $.20 a gallon here about 10 minutes after the oil rig caught fire, even though it would take months for that oil to get into the gas pumps after refining....

Not just the shrimp, the oyster beds and the other seafood resources will be harmed by this disaster.

 

[Skitzer]

No big loss ..... I hardly ever eat shrimp.

I feel bad for all the marine life this will be affecting. I saw an article this morning about how there are many otter and pelicans in the path of the spill.

 

[OUCaptain]

I don't think the shrimps like to swim around the surface. As long as they pull em up in a clean spot, I'm happy

I really don't like Shemp.

Yes, BP better have a big check book. This is going to cost them big time.

theirs is from thailand or vietnam

And BP is lobbying Canada to waive the safety valve requirement for their arctic license. Harper better not give them that carte blanche.
