Sidestripe Shrimp

Alaska's Sidestripe shrimp are some of the sweetest shrimp you'll ever taste. From the pure waters of Alaska's Prince William Sound, these medium-sized shrimp are known for their excellent flavor and tender meat.

They're absolutely perfect for shrimp cocktails and scampi, along with a wide variety of shrimp dishes. Or better yet, just have a huge shrimp feast and invite all your friends and family. You're sure to be the winning chef no matter how you serve them.

In addition, summer-caught sidestripes are eggless (unlike fall & winter shrimp) so this is a great time of year to stock your freezer with premium, high-quality shrimp.

Shrimp Cooking Tips

Storing and Thawing

Sidestripe shrimp can be thawed under refrigeration about 24 hours before preparation. Shrimp blocks should be separated as they thaw to speed up thawing process. Sealed packages can be ran under cold water to speed up thawing. Shrimp are glazed with frozen water. They can be kept frozen for up to three months.

Shrimp Fishing
Sidestripe shrimp fishing is common throughout Alaska's waters, especially within Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. Sidestripe shrimp are caught using trawlers- large nets that are pulled behind shrimp boats. Sidestripes are slender and light pink with white bands down their body. Sidestripes are also known for their long antennules.
