Sustainable What is a more sustainable substitute for black tiger shrimp?

Question by dpk55: What is a more sustainable substitute for black tiger shrimp?
I would like to replace the black tiger shrimp on our wedding menu with a more sustainable shrimp, but I would prefer another type of shrimp that is as close as possible to the tiger shrimp in size and texture.

Best answer:

Answer by Peter
The main thing to look for is country of origin. If you can get it from Mexico it will be much more sustainable than if it came from Asia. It is very hard to get very large shrimp that are not farmed raised. Wild caught shrimp has more flavor if you can find it. Mexican shrimp does not destroy as much mangroves or coral. I avoid shrimp from Thailand myself.
