Why We Use Local Shrimp
Serving up the Good Stuff
Welcome to Timoti’s Seafood Shak, where the smell of coastal classics like fried shrimp, fish sandwiches, and lobster rolls fill the seaside air. We’re not just about serving up quick, delicious meals; we’re also passionate about the quality and origin of our ingredients. That’s why we proudly use local shrimp in our dishes.
You might have heard us use the phrase “wild-caught” before, and while all of our seafood is wild-caught, our shrimp is now not only wild-caught, but straight from our own backyard. It may seem like a simple change, but in reality it is a celebration of taste, health, and sustainability.
Taste Straight from the Sea
Imagine biting into a succulent shrimp, fresh from the waters off Fernandina Beach, Florida. It’s not just a bite; it’s a taste of the local seascape. Our local shrimp have a distinct flavor that can’t be matched by their far-traveled counterparts. This is because local shrimp, often referred to as Mayport shrimp, are caught and served fast, retaining their natural, sweet, and slightly briny flavor that shrimp lovers crave. They are the stars of our dishes—even more than our signature T’s Blend seasoning or T’s Bam Bam sauce—providing a flavor that elevates our seafood to the next level.
A Healthier Choice for You
When you choose local shrimp, you’re not only indulging in a taste sensation; you’re also making a healthier choice. Locally sourced shrimp are typically fresher and less processed than imported ones. This means they retain more of their natural nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, supporting your overall health.
Plus, with fewer preservatives and chemicals, you can savor your meal knowing it’s as wholesome as it is delicious.
Sustainability – Our Promise to the Ocean
Our commitment to using local shrimp goes beyond taste and health; it’s about sustainability and supporting our local communities. By sourcing our shrimp from local fishermen, we help sustain the livelihood of those who have fished these waters for generations. It’s a partnership that respects the ocean and its resources, ensuring that they remain abundant for future generations.
Sustainability also means less transportation and a small carbon footprint. When shrimp are sourced locally, they don’t have to travel thousands of miles to reach your plate. This significantly reduces the environmental impact, aligning with our mantra of being responsible stewards of the ocean.
