cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

my moms step brother was down there last month and he was walking on the docks when he saw a ship selling fish and shrimp.. fish for cheap as ---- like .75 cents a pound or some ---- and shrimp for like 2.75 a pound

so he bought 150 pounds of fish/shrimp and came back here..

he sold the shrimp for 6 bucks a pounds (and the stores were reselling for 8 bucks a pound i guess?)
and sold the fish for 3 bucks a pound but he had trouble selling the fish.. and had no trouble selling the shrimp.

he went back the other day and came back with 300 pounds of shrimp.. at 3 bucks a pound.. and resold it for 6 bucks a pound..

i dont know where exactly he goes.. or who his contact is.. but i just laughed my ass off because i thought he was joking till i saw the trunk of his car..

the ---- he bought is fresh as ---- cause he kept it in a cooler with just ice over it.. and its still good..

hes going back one more time before the season is over.. and apparently hes going to try 600 pounds of shrimp next time

but yeah just figured id tell hmt.. and if anyone from Mississippi can chime in and vouch for boat side specials on seafood

thats expensive. NC you can get shrimp for about half that.

My dad was a shrimper for 27 years. Got out of it about 5 years ago when diesel was skyrocketing. When he sold the boat it was 1.04 a gallon. It's almost impossible to make a living shrimping these days. Cost 300-500 a day to run the boat. You have to pedal all your catch to stand a chance at making a profit. What boat did the guy buy from? Probably somebody I know. ;D

And I'm from Pascagoula, MS by the way. Where did he buy them from?

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

From George's boat. The blue/white one, 2 toned. Second from the last on the dock.

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

George Nelson? What boat? Boat Crayfish?

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

we usually get ours from the viet guy down the street. he has a small boat and usually only catches about a hundred pounds or so each day. its pretty cheap from him 2.20ish/lb

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

Yea i think buk mentioned nelson or something. Not sure of the name of the boat, i don't remember.

when i checked he was selling 400 lbs of fail.

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaha


hahahahhahahaha

That's my dad's old boat. We sold it to them 5 years ago. Blue and white boat named the crayfish. First steel hull shrimp boat in MS. My dad built the back half of that boat in my back yard when I was 8.

I pay like 3 bucks a pound at food max

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

dude are you kidding me? I mean read that back like real slowly dude. ::)

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

I'll elaborate. Boat crayfish was the first steel hull shrimp boat in MS. So as you can imagine, it was in pretty rough shape being 58 years old back in 98'. So my dad built a new back half of a boat in our back yard over the course of 2 winters, and the third winter we hauled the boat and cut off the back half and welded on the new half. Quite a J O B.

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

hahaha i cant believe you got this guy thinking it was his dads old boat. what a lucky guess

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

DUDE. hatchboy has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. He was ------- with you. Holy ---- man, there is no Blue boat its soooooo totaly aweosme that you have shared the history of shrimping with your dad and his boats and ---- but there never was a blue steeel Crafyfish boat or whatever. holy ----. Unbelieveable.

So even after I told you to read the thread more you still decided to "explain"? He just randomly picked some odd ball color and made fun of you. Liek how the hell would he know which boat? Jay said it was his cousin or friend or whatever not him who the hell would know which boat dude? Like i just dont get how you bought that, hatchboy just flys in from no where and says "The 3rd one down from teh end" and you are just all over it "ZOMFGWTFBBQ!!!one!!1! its my dasds old boat I just know it!!!11!!one! cause there cant be too many Shrimp boats around there I just know it is!!!11!!!!one!"

But Seriously you should PM me i got some killer ass deals on one of the only 15 ZC's honda ever made and I also got some Awesome OCZC Manifolds I'll sell for cheap.

Re: cost of seafood from mississippi?
 

Ah, I see now. Well, he made a good guess anyway. I didn't realize that was hatchfag I thought that was the OP posting. Wasn't paying attention obviously. But ok. Anyways if anyone on here comes down to MS I can get you the hook up on fresh shrimp. And it's white shrimp season right now.

People do the same with lobster. I know some people from work that go up to Maine a couple times a year and bring back tons of lobsters and resell them down here.
