IMO, having tasted the Asian Tiger shrimps alongside Gulf Coast shrimp, the Gulf shrimp are "sweeter". What a bummer. TY, BP.

I agree. Gulf shrimp are much more flavorful, in my opinion. Thank you, too, by the way, for the information you shared. I was hoping you'd weigh in on that question when i first posted it.

You're quite welcome. BTW, I'm sure Sanity has passed many a HS chem class... on his way to detention.

As a confirmed tree hugger, I dont hate Obama for killing the gulf, thats more pathetic projection .
I will admit to feeeling that its too soon to see the damage from something that is floating around way beneath the surface, and that trying to placate the public with unrealistic reports jsut to satisfy ignorant jerks into thinking theres nothing more bad news wise, to come in the months ahead, is a bad move politically.

People want their information "right now" and stuff like this isnt going to be sorted out in a month or two, personally I think its just so that they can come back in a few months and say, HE LIED TO USSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
anyone thinking different is more than a lil dense.

I am willing to talk to the server at the restaurant and the counter person at the grocery store and my friends to find out. 100% sure is not likely but checking first is a good first step. After all, all the local restaurants and grocery stores have a good incentive to be careful and avoid potential lawsuits if someone were to eat products that made them ill.

Vendy,

When you go out to eat in a restaurant, or buy seafood in a grocery store, or eat at someone else's home, how can you be SURE the seafood did not come from the Gulf?

careful, I was watching a report on CBS last week and they were saying a lot of the asian shrimp were farm raised and they were raised in filthy pools ....... hummm....maybe that's why gulf shrimp is sweeter.

I also caught a report thur. morning, the fishermen in the unaffected areas were worried that people would not buy their fish, thinking the WHOLE gulf was affected.

and speaking of the WHOLE gulf, just like the oil did not affect the whole gulf this "Invisable plume"..(eyes roll) is not going to cover the entire gulf!

mexico has an oil rig explode a few years ago and it was,from what I understand, much worse than this one and low and behold the gulf still survives!

I think the leftists here who are claiming theyre not going to touch Gulf seafood are saying it to try to sound dramatic in order to make their point. The way I see it, such people dont care if theyre helping to destroy the economy of several very poor Southern states if they can make certain businessmen suffer. If they really mean it though, based on your post I'm thinking that perhaps such leftists had ought to avoid eating seafood altogether.

Your so funny, are you one of the cuck ones in drag?

I guess you could say the Ixtoc blow out was "a few years ago". 1979 was just yesterday wasn't it?

Yes the gulf survived, as it will now. BUT that doesn't change the facts that several crab species along with various mollusk in the area were destroyed. Many of the larger fish took years to recover.

The wild life and the people who depend on it for a living were severely impacted for decades.

FR:

First off, Ixtoc I was not "worse" than Deepwater Horizon. It only takes two and a half seconds to pull up the numbers. But let me help you out.

Deepwater Horizon: April 20, 2010 – 02010-07-15July 15, 2010: Barrels: 4,100,000-4,300,000.......That's approx. 35000 barrels/day

Ixtoc I: June 3, 1979 – March 23, 1980: Barrels: 3,329,000–3,520,000........That's approx. 10667 barrels/day

If some retarded ass on a news station wants to start telling anybody that the environment can stand almost three times as much oil being dumped upon the ecosystem in three months is "less" than the Ixtoc I spill (let's not get into the difference in terms of toxicity because of dispersants used), and so "it's not so bad", they don't deserve to have their jobs. And any dumb ass not willing to take the two seconds to confirm that information and just repeats it, is, as they say, an empty, talking head.

Yeah, yeah it's wiki. Whatever, the numbers and dates given are also supported by:

Some larger species with longer life spans took years to recover from the Ixtoc spill. It wasn't until the late-1980s that the population of Kemp's Ridley turtles, which lay a couple of hundred eggs a year, as opposed to the millions produced by shrimp, started recovering. The immediate losses from an oil spill continue to ricochet through larger species for generations.

^ Glenn Garvin (2010-06-27). "After big 1979 spill, a stunning recovery". The News Observer. http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/06/13/530250/after-big-1979-spill-a-stunning.html. Retrieved 14 July 2010.

"This stuff is poison," Quintana said. "It's going to go everywhere. We saw this happen in '79."

......

The spill wiped out fishing along the Mexican coast for about two years. Sea turtles and dolphins also suffered. The Kemp's ridley sea turtle, which spends much of its life in the Gulf of Mexico, was nearly driven extinct. Scientists dug up hundreds of oil-covered turtle eggs and flew them to cleaner beaches in an attempt to save them.

In short, do some fuckin research before saying stupid shit people.

THELADY,

You have good points and I do sympathize with the economic hardship of the fishing industry. BP needs to be paying the economic compensation for the spill to the the people in the Gulf who have lost their income from this mess.

The local markets and restaurants here are good about customer relations and communicating the origin of their products. Ultimately, my first responsibility is for my own health and anyone sharing a meal with me. I have both asthma and allergies that require being extra cautious with health issues.
