3765.0. "Wanted: Raw Shelled Shrimp [place to buy]" by NETRIX::michaud (Jeff Michaud, DECnet/OSI) Mon Mar 08 1993 10:44

	Does anyone know of any stores in the Nashua area that
	sells raw shelled shrimp (fresh, previously frozen, or frozen)?

	I've only found it once, at the Market Basket in the Westside
	Plaza, but I don't get that far West that often.  Shaws
	Nashua and a couple of the other Market Baskets in Nashua
	do not seem to carry it.  Maybe a small store that specializes
	in Meat (like Mike's)?

	I love Shrimp, but I hate shelling [and de-veining] them!

	Try BJ's. I have found a huge selection of frozen shrimp at the one in Westboro, MA. You may have some luck there.
3765.2	Edward's in Shrewsbury	BIGSOW::BAROUD		`Mon Mar 08 1993 14:52`	6
	Try Edward's Supermarket (Rt. 9, Shrewsbury). The sell "frozen fresh" simple peel shrimp. The medium are on sale this week. Although they are not peeled, the shells have been cut and they have been deveined. They are really easy and taste great.
3765.3	S&S Westboro (look for occasional sales too)	APLVEW::DEBRIAE	La Course en Tete	`Mon Mar 08 1993 16:56`	18
	Check out the Super Stop & Shop in Westboro. I needed 10 lbs of extra-large shrimp for a large special occasion (family) dinner I prepared last month. It took me a solid week of cooking to put the whole thing together, and the last thing I wanted to do was shell and de-vein a big pile of shrimp. Super S&S not only had shelled and de-veined shrimp (unless you have a LOT of free time the day of the meal I wouldn't get anything else), but they just happened to have had a big shrimp sale that day as well. I lucked out and saved 35% off their regular price (which was the same as the other stores I priced). Something to watch out for anyway. S&S may not be a Legal Seafood market, but the quality was very good/excellent, and on-sale you couldn't beat that price. -Erik
3765.4	Nashua Fish Market	CECV05::ICE_ELIZ		`Mon Mar 15 1993 18:50`	4
	Try the Nashua Fish Market on 101A. Their fish is very fresh. Elizabeth
3765.5	wholesale Shrimp	LANDO::PATTON		`Fri Mar 19 1993 16:53`	7
	Try New England Shrimp, a warehouse in Ayer MA. They are only open M-F, are in the phone book. They sell only shrimp, deveined, raw, undeveined, cooked, jumbo, salad size, Cajun, you name it. Bring a cooler in your trunk and go at lunchtime. The quality is excellent.
3765.6		RANGER::PESENTI	And the winner is....	`Mon Mar 22 1993 07:24`	2
	NE shrimp is not exactly in the Nashua area, but it is great for shrimp. They are open 12-6, so if you go at lunch, don't make it an early lunch.
3765.7	Open again?	FSOA::BERICSON	MRO1-1/L87 DTN 297-3200	`Mon Mar 22 1993 11:28`	2
	Did they reopen after the Feds closed them down for sacchorine sp? violations?
3765.8		RANGER::PESENTI	And the winner is....	`Tue Mar 23 1993 08:17`	3
	I heard about that, but never found them closed, and I've been there quite a few times. I also never noticed any difference in the shrimp between there and the Quarterdeck in Maynard where I used to buy shrimp.
