I feel sorry for you if you live in Philly and cannot get fresh seafood.

That is the joke of the year.

I buy my shrimp in Costco.Either frozen or fresh.Never had a problem.I don’t remember what I pay but I think it’s under  $20 for 1- 1 1/2 lbs.

Ridiculous pricing. As with most, if not all, foods on QVC.  For anyone suggesting you can't get shrimp if you don't live on the seashore, that is just silly.  Shrimp is in your freezer section of the grocery store and fine quality.  Most shrimp you get anywhere, with the exception of locations near shrimp fishing waters, is previously frozen.  It does not affect the quality significantly, although fresh is always best IMO.

I would worry the shirmp would not arrive fresh

@I am still oxox  Of course it won't be fresh--it would have to be frozen to ship!

That price does seem awfully high!  I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert and can get several varieties of frozen shrimp at any local supermarket for far less than that.

Years ago when I used to do big Christmas Eve Italian seafood dinners in Philly,  we went to Cape May’s Lobster House Seafood market & restaurant to pick up fresh shrimp, crab, flounder, cod and scallops.  Better prices than Q and you could see the product !

@jlkz  You did the Feast of the Seven Fishes??  WOW!  Lots of work, but a fabulous way to spend Christmas Eve with family and friends.  My hat is off to you--that's more work than I would volunteer for.

Just to be sure that all of you are aware...unless you are actually working on a shrimp trawler  or casteand can bag what you are allowed to catch...ALL shrimp are frozen immediately on the boat. If you are buying them not frozen...they once were.  This is 100% fact.

You did notice that the “fishes” weren’t the traditional ones which I don’t like !!!!

DH loves to cook so between the two of us it wasn’t a lot of work.  Buy, I am glad that we don’t do it anymore !

BTW, I remembered some of your jewelry posts from a few years ago as I was posting a picture of a ring I had made from rings from my mom and dad.
