Oiishi Shrimp is currently 3-star Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified. Global Aquaculture Alliance is the world's most trusted, comprehensive and proven third-party aquaculture certification program. GAA performs audits to ensure environmental, social and economical performance of the production chain to ensure the product is produced in a responsible and sustainable manner. Oiishi Shrimp come from the heart of Thailand where the optimal temperature and climate ensure the highest quality product.
Sustainable aquaculture shrimp farming is often better in practice than wild-caught shrimp harvesting by net. This is due to the fact that the fresh to frozen time is much reduced and the use of chemical treatment for preservation from boat to land is not needed. In Oiishi's aquaculture setup, the shrimp are actually frozen from a live state. That is why you won't find that weird chemical smell on these shrimp, and these are the reasons that this is one of the very few farm-raised seafood options that we support and offer to our customers.
