Unless you were raised near the coast where you can get them fresh off the boat, guess they just don't know no better.

Got ta take care of yourself, it's the only one you have
Will you freeze fresh? If you do, is it still better?
there are some places that have fresh shrimp brought in every other day and serve it in some eating places.
I made a couple of vegetable concoctions for the past couple of days. The first one is baby Lima beans and cubed pork. Topped with fresh cherry tomatoes and diced onion.
The second is purple hulled peas and green beans with cubed pork. Again, topped with cherry tomatoes and diced onion. Biscuits with butter and blackberry preserves on the side.

I guess it's like getting lobster in Maine, ain't no comparison
I buy in bulk in late November or early December. In my experience this is when the best size and quality is available. I freeze in zip lock freezer bags. I put enough shrimp in the bag to allow it to zip closed. It's usually 1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs. I fill the bag with fresh water and zip it closed extruding all of the air. I put that bag into a gallon sized bag and stack them in the freezer. The second larger bag is insurance against pinhole leaks in the smaller bag. I've kept shrimp like this for 2 years and when thawed you would never know they were frozen. There's a place in Brunswick that does IQF (individually quick frozen). They use liquid nitrogen. I can tell a difference with those. The color and texture are a little off. Not terrible, but not my choice. They sell 5 lb bags of IQF shrimp pieces for about $5 lb. I will buy those and use it for shrimp salad.
On the rare occasion I froze any, it was in milk cartons filled with water. When thawed, couldn't tell much difference from fresh.
It's international cuisine night...sort of.
