It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Derry Show is on the air.

Thank you. show is on the air. On the subject of strength, a K-H-O-U investigation, a short while back revealed that 44 restaurants in Galveston or Kima were serving foreign shrimp.

Why aren't you serving the shrimp from the water a foot away well we know why it's cheaper

it's frozen but imagine that Imagine you're having a shrimp dinner in Kima or Galveston.

And you're eating, I don't think they tell who the restaurants are, but you're eating shrimp that's come from what china or thailand or this was the story

galveston shrimping industry has been sinking for years trumpers say the competition from

cheaper farm raised imported shrimp has driven down the price per pound of Gulf shrimp so much,

they're losing money each time they put gas in their boats.

There used to be 300 boats.

I think now there's seven.

Seven or eight in Galveston.

That's sad.

It's just really sad.

Nikki Johnson Coons, also known as the Shrimp Diva,

married into a family of Galveston

shrimpers that's made a living fishing the waters of the Gulf for generations. She wasn't surprised

to learn recent genetic tests performed on shrimp dishes at 44 seafood restaurants in Galveston

and Kima revealed nearly 60% of them were serving shrimp that was imported and raised in farms abroad.

It wasn't shocking. The restaurants that failed, I hope that they come around and to start doing what's right.
