Shrimp tested at NOLA restaurants: “The most blatant examples of inauthenticity”

The shrimp testers are back in Louisiana, testing the authenticity of seafood at New Orleans restaurants ahead of the Super Bowl. New Orleans restaurants claiming to sell ‘Gulf’ shrimp were tested for authenticity, with about 1 out of 8 restaurants passing off imported shrimp as locally caught. SeaD Consulting tested shrimp at 24 restaurants and found that 3 of them were serving imported shrimp. Dave Williams, Founder of SeaD Consulting, said this is a very high level of authenticity compared to other places. “The restaurants that were inauthentic were inauthentic in a very egregious manner,” Dave said. “They were using lots and lots of imagery, wording and bold statements that they’re serving Gulf shrimp, and they weren’t. The offenders were really, really bad.” Video, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:58
