And the taste, which I was after to begin with, is a bonus. Can't compromise on taste. Shouldn't compromise on health.

I found the imported version to be all but tasteless and at times, when boiled, they were suspiciously mushy. Gulf shrimp have the right texture as well as the right taste.
Another of my favorites is frog legs, but there seem to be no domestic producers. The ones sold in local markets come from India. I used to live where I could go across the road and catch all I wanted, but alas, no more.
