Pure Shrimp All Year

New retailer offers pure, never-frozen shrimp

First-of-its-kind vendor hopes to strike a chord with gourmands

Shrimp Station brings incredibly fresh, natural, Sushi-grade shrimp to Dallas-area gourmands with the opening of its first retail location.
Shrimp Station exclusively distributes farm-raised, all-natural shrimp bred by Texas-based NaturalShrimp. This unique shrimp is raised free of any chemical additives in pure, pollutant-free waters in an exclusive process that controls every aspect of shrimp growth.

What does that mean to shrimp connoisseurs? A completely pure shrimp experience.

"Shrimp lovers have told us our shrimp tastes sweet, leaves no shrimp odor on their fingers, and the texture is always consistent," says Gerald Easterling, President, NaturalShrimp, which supplies Shrimp Station's fresh shrimp. "Our shrimp is raised in a pollution-controlled environment and never has that iodine taste that many shrimp lovers have been forced to tolerate."

Shrimp Station, in conjunction with NaturalShrimp, is able to deliver its customers shrimp that has never been frozen and is much fresher than anything found in grocery stores. It's literally harvested and delivered directly within hours - not days - of coming from its pure waters. This impresses local chefs.

"This is the best shrimp I have ever tasted," said Michael Scott, Executive Chef of Northwood Country Club and named Chef of the Year by the Dallas Chapter of the Texas Chefs Association. "I was so impressed; I made it a key ingredient of our annual 'Iron Chef' competition this March."

Through Shrimp Station, Dallas-area chefs, caterers and restaurants can offer their guests the freshest shrimp available on the market. And since shrimp is grown year-round, they can offer the freshest product, no matter the season.

Raising "pure" shrimp

The secret to fresh shrimp lies in the exacting process used to raise them.
The water is clear, the shrimp are fed a specially-created, nutrient-rich diet free of pollutants or dirt, and NaturalShrimp works hard to create a clean environment to cultivate delicious, pure shrimp in pristine conditions. The shrimp is sushi-quality because all impurities are kept from the pristine environment.

New store serves Dallas area chefs, local shrimp lovers

"I'm thrilled to be the first distribution station for this incredible shrimp," says Don Parks, VP Sales of the Dallas Shrimp Station. "Once folks try our shrimp, they gotta have more. Chefs love it, and I'm looking forward to bringing chefs in for sampling, developing new recipes and helping people enjoy this delicious shrimp."

Shrimp Station will serve walk-in customers and also offers shrimp for wholesale to area chefs, caterers, hotels, country clubs and restaurants. Dallas is the first location for
Shrimp Station, which plans to develop other locations in San Antonio and Austin, Texas. NaturalShrimp also has locations in Spain and Mexico.

Shrimp Station is located at 14438 Midway Road, northwest of the North Dallas Tollway and LBJ Freeway. They're open from 10 am to 6 pm Monday-Saturday and will offer delivery to a limited service area. Learn more by calling (972) 934-0800 or visit www.shrimpstation.net.
