In Gulf, Questions Remain About Shrimp Testing
As shrimpers got back to work in Louisiana yesterday, The Washington Post reports on fears that government testing of shrimp may not pass muster.
According to the Post:
“„Some fishermen and their families worried that the government’s testing was inadequate — and that if any seafood diners wound up with a plate of oil-tainted scampi, it would be a knockout blow for their industry. In Venice, La., a shrimper was told he wouldn’t be paid for his catch until the buyer ran it through tests.
