Blue Foot White Shrimp |
Your search for sustainably sourced shrimp is over. Blue Foot White Shrimp, which are all natural, free of hormones, antibiotics or other additives, are farm raised in an eco-friendly environment on the coast of Ecuador. Tropical’s shrimp farm, Chanduy, is directly adjacent to the sea and is recognized for producing the most delicious, world-class shrimp without interruption for more than 20 years.
The ponds receive an infusion of fresh ocean water with every new tide, creating a natural habitat and resulting in a uniquely succulent and sweet flavor. Chanduy produces their own post larvae from the healthiest stock to ensure a premium product and minimize their environmental footprint. The scale of the farm (3,500 acres) allows the shrimp to be raised in a low-density environment avoiding overcrowding and promoting good health. Blue Foot White Shrimp is all natural – free of antibiotics, additives or growth enhancers.
Tropical Aquaculture and Samuels Seafood have committed to contribute to the conservation of Ecuador’s fragile Galápagos Islands by making a donation to the Charles Darwin Foundation for every pound purchased of P&D Blue Foot White Shrimp. Management programs of the Charles Darwin Foundation continuously research and monitor both the native and endemic species of these islands.
Experience the culinary excellence of responsibly farmed shrimp and contribute to an important cause! Blue Foot White Shrimp are guaranteed eco-friendly, delicious and always fresh (unless you want it frozen) – a protein everyone will love!

Tilapia Always Popular and In-Season |
Tilapia from Tropical Aquaculture is a fish that Americans love to eat. Its mild flavor and affordability have made this once unknown fish native to Africa, the fourth most popular fish in the United States today. In 2010, Americans consumed 475 million pounds of Tilapia – four times the amount from a decade ago. Tropical Tilapia is raised in ponds that are naturally infused with saltwater with every new tide. The saltwater acts as a natural cleanser and gives the fish a clean mild flavor and firm texture exclusive to Ecuadorian Tilapia.
Tropical Tilapia is sourced from the only Tilapia farm in the Americas practicing low-density, polyculture systems. Low-density allows the Tilapia to thrive and grow in an ample habitat - eliminating the need for chemicals and antibiotics. Polyculture, a technique used to raise Tilapia and shrimp in the same pond, is considered friendlier to the environment, not only for the more efficient use of water and land, but also contributing to a healthier, more diverse habitat within the ponds themselves.
Tilapia is an excellent source of protein and is low in fat, calories and carbohydrates. A 3oz cooked serving provides about one-third of the daily average recommended protein intake. Fresh Tilapia fillets are an excellent source of Phosphorus, Niacin, Selenium, Vitamin B12 and Potassium.
Tropical Tilapia feed is 96% vegetable-based made of only the finest, purest ingredients, formulated to ensure purity and quality.
