Yes. I've been selling to them for years now. They insist on extreme quality, so I sell them the best of the best. They also keep the cleanest seafood retail market I have ever seen.True Grit Farms":3l5x5je6 said:zirlottkim":3l5x5je6 said:Sextons Seafood in Destin has some fine royal reds right now.
Are you supplying them the shrimp? That is by far the best eating shrimp that I've tried.
I never had royal reds till a few years ago. Man those things are good.zirlottkim":2loopv75 said:Yes. I've been selling to them for years now.

Wasnt me on the east coast of Fla. I have caught shark gear before but believe me, that is something to avoid if any way possible. What a mess.I havent been over there in years and when I was over there I was inshore rock shrimping or off Georgia white shrimping. I wasnt capable of fishing reds back then. That Gulf Stream can be vicious for trawling over there when its running at 5 knts or better. Royal reds are some of the finest eating shrimp. They are almost like a cross between a lobster and crab. Sweeter than other shrimp.They are only found very deep. 1200 ft to 1800 ft. Takes about a mile of cable to trawl those depths. At the present, there are only 3 boats in the Gulf equipped to fish them. One is mine and I buy from another one. There are several on east Coast of Fla that fish them. Grit, I know the guy you had trouble with. He can be hard to deal with.True Grit Farms":w6rj0gnt said:jedstivers":w6rj0gnt said:I never had royal reds till a few years ago.

Very few boats fish for royal reds. I used to have problems with the shrimpers fishing for royal reds on the east coast trawling up my Shark gear. I figured it was Zirlottkim when he was still running his boat over here. I made a deal that I'd stay inside 50 fathoms but I still saw sharks and my gear hanging from the shrimpers nets.
