Our Story

It started the way most good ideas do—with a problem that needed solving.

For years, three brothers made the trek down to the Tampa docks, watching the fishing boats come in with their daily haul of wild-caught Florida Pink Shrimp. They’d buy fresh shrimp straight from the fishermen, knowing they were getting the real deal—locally caught, sustainably harvested, and incomparably fresh.

But one day, they asked a simple question: “Can you deliver?”

The answer was always the same. No one did home delivery. If you wanted fresh, local shrimp in Tampa Bay, you had to go get it yourself. And if you couldn’t make it to the docks? You were stuck with whatever the grocery store offered—often farm-raised imports masquerading as “local” seafood.

The brothers realized they weren’t the only ones facing this problem. Busy families, seafood lovers, and home cooks across the Tampa Bay area wanted access to genuinely fresh, local shrimp without the hassle. So they decided to create the solution themselves.

Tampa Shrimp was born.

Here’s why it matters: According to FOX News, 80% of surveyed restaurants in Tampa claim to serve local seafood while actually serving products from overseas. That’s a problem. Consumers deserve to know where their food comes from, and they deserve access to the exceptional quality that Tampa Bay waters provide.

That’s why we’ve dedicated our resources to ensuring that families in the Bay Area can get authentic local Florida Pink Shrimp at a competitive price—delivered right to their homes.

Supporting Local Fishing Families

When you choose Tampa Shrimp, you’re doing more than ordering dinner. You’re directly supporting local fishing families who have been sustainably harvesting these waters for generations. These aren’t corporate fishing operations—they’re hardworking men and women who know Tampa Bay intimately and treat it with respect.

Every purchase helps preserve both our marine ecosystem and the traditional fishing practices that make Tampa Bay seafood truly exceptional. You’re keeping a local industry alive, supporting sustainable practices, and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same quality seafood we do today.
