The U.S. consumes over 1.5 billion pounds of shrimp annually — more than any other seafood. We supply across every species, form, and size category that the market demands.
America's most consumed shrimp. Mild, clean flavor with consistent sizing makes it the universal workhorse of foodservice and retail. Farmed at industrial scale in Ecuador and India — our two primary sourcing markets. Certifiable for ASC and BAP.
Bold, distinctive flavor with signature black-and-white striping. Prized in Asian markets, ethnic retail, and fine dining. India dominates supply; Indonesia also produces premium wild-caught specimens from Sulawesi and Kalimantan.
Wild-caught from U.S. Gulf waters — a premium domestic product commanding strong pricing in coastal foodservice. Beloved in the South for boils, BBQ, and Cajun cuisine. Seasonal supply from Mexico also serves Hispanic and Caribbean channels.
Small, intensely sweet shrimp from the cold waters off Canada and Iceland. Primarily sold cooked and peeled for cocktail applications, salads, and sushi platforms. A high-margin niche category for premium retailers and hotel banquets.
Shrimp is sold by the number of pieces per pound. A smaller number means a larger, more valuable shrimp. A U/10 has under 10 pieces per pound — a colossal luxury item. A 51/60 has 51–60 small pieces used in soups and processed foods.
Presentation-forward cooking demands colossal shrimp. Very high margin, low volume.
Prefers HOSO and HLSO in large sizes. Country of origin and freshness perception are critical buying factors.
High-margin sweet spot. Consistent sizing is essential for plate presentation and cost control.
The market's bread-and-butter size. Highest overall volume in the U.S. Dominant in retail IQF bags and Costco-style club packs.
Volume-driven, cost-sensitive. Smaller sizes maximize portion economics in high-throughput operations.
Beyond shrimp, Global Foods sources premium finfish, shellfish, and specialty seafood from Peru and Mexico — supplying the full range of species that high-end restaurants and ethnic markets demand.
