  I like the poboy store owner. Most would be like &quot;those other guys sell trash&quot; but he&apos;s very down to Earth. Recognizes how complex the problem is. It surprised me

  Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin&apos;, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey&apos;s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried....

  While the shrimper price goes down, the restaurant guests price goes up.

  The fact that Lonnie is 82 years old and looks the way he does working that boat is a true testament to the old school American will to thrive

  I&apos;ve eaten in Lousiana, the portion sizes are massive. &nbsp;Their sandwiches are good for two people anywhere in the state.

  When he was making the shrimp poboy, he wasn’t exaggerating. They really do put that many shrimp in every one. <br><br>And yes it’s really that busy every single day. They got a real good thing going there, real nice people.

  This was incredibly informative and heartbreaking. &nbsp;The struggle of these shrimpers is REAL, and the issues with imported shrimp are HUGE. Thanks. I needed this today.

  First they cut down the cypress trees in the Afchafalaya Basin, then they levied all the rivers so the lowlands and rice farms wouldn’t flood, then the oil and gas industry dredged canals, drilled, and spilled, then they overfished and dredged everything…then they voted for politicians solution to the problem was to put tariffs on the imports to protect an industry where almost no shrimpers got rich in to begin with. While a tariff would help somewhat, they’ve dine very little to address the fundamental problems facing the industry. They will be mostly gone in 20-30 years.
