MEDIA RELEASE
April 29, 2020
It's such an important festival to Amelia Island, we couldn't just let COVID-19 get in the way!
So, let's put on our Shrimp Fest t-shirts from the past, dig out those beads that have been in the closet since last year, and celebrate our heritage as the capital of the modern shrimp industry.
Jeff Peterson on today's shrimping industry
Friday, May 1 at 3 pm via Facebook Live
Jeff has had nearly a 50-year association with the seafood business. He was a shrimp and fish farmer and later a seafood processing plant inspector and inspected facilities all over the world. He also loves to cook and eat all types of seafood, but especially SHRIMP!
Over the years, much of the seafood we consume in the U.S. is imported. What should we buy? How safe is "farmed" seafood? Should you only purchase "wild caught" seafood? Tune in for important and enlightening information about today's seafood market.
