Protocols

"Chemical-free" implies that no artificial chemicals, preservatives, or synthetic additives were used, but it does not guarantee the shrimp is entirely free from any chemicals (like those that might occur naturally or from environmental exposure).

"Dayboat" refers to fishing vessels that go out to sea and return within a single day. These boats typically fish in coastal waters and do not stay overnight at sea. The catch is brought back to shore the same day it’s caught, ensuring that the fish is as fresh as possible.

"Homemade" refers to an item that was created, prepared, or produced in-house by our own team, rather than being outsourced or pre-made elsewhere. It reflects a hands-on approach to quality, freshness, and craftsmanship that you can taste and trust.

"Local" refers to products that were caught or harvested from the waters of Cape Cod, including Nantucket Sound, Vineyard Sound, or other nearby coastal areas.

"Phosphate-free" refers to shrimp that have not been treated with phosphates, which are sometimes used in processing shrimp to retain moisture, improve texture, or extend shelf life.

"Wild-caught" seafood refers to fish and shellfish that are harvested directly from their natural habitats, like oceans, rivers, and lakes, rather than being raised in controlled aquaculture environments.
