Gulf Crown Seafood is on a mission to increase the quality of Louisiana caught shrimp, as well as the profits fishermen receive for their hard work.
Sitting on the banks of the Delcambre Canal, mere yards from the docks of an ever-shrinking shrimp fleet. Company owner Jeff Floyd is convinced that to compete in an industry driven by the price of imported shrimp, quality has to be the new game for the Louisiana shrimp community.
Built in 1987, Gulf Crown process more than 100,000 pounds of shrimp a day, one of the largest processors along the Florida to Texas Gulf coast.
According to Floyd, U.S. processors are forced to compete in the marketplace at prices driven by imported shrimp stuck at 1970 prices.
