A Little History

The Mexican Shrimp Council (Consejo Mexicano del Camaron) started as a discussion between forward-looking executives involved in the Mexican Shrimp industry. Mexican Shrimp has long held a unique position as a top-quality product, known mainly by chefs and other leaders of the food service industry. The Council was established to bring the story of Mexican Shrimp to the forefront of the industry, as well as consumers.

In brief, the Mexican Shrimp story tells of our south-of-the-border shrimp paradise, where the shrimp are superior and authentic in taste, texture and color. Not to mention they won’t shrink up after cooking.

The Mexican Shrimp industry has also pioneered the establishment of strict quality standards for exact sizing and true net weights of all shrimp shipped to North America. And we are very serious about maintaining environmentally-sound and sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices, working in conjunction with the various government regulatory agencies of Mexico.
