99% of the shrimp consumed in the United States is fresh frozen on the boats immediately after being netted. One would have to visit the shore of the gulf in order to buy fresh shrimp from a local fisherman. Most shellfish such as lobster, scallops and shrimp are nearly as good frozen as they are fresh….unlike fin fish which is best when freshly caught and never frozen. At Remingtons we specialize in fresh fish but we do buy some frozen shellfish as does almost every restaurant. We believe we serve the very ultimate in fresh scallops as we have a supplier on Cape Cod who packs us the freshest of sea scallops. Most restaurants are unable to buy the quality scallops that we do. One reason we have been in business for 33 years is our committment to the freshest product we can find on the market. Yeah….our fish is so fresh we have to slap it!
