a lot of Walmart's seafood is imported from China. I had bought frozen tilapia from there once and it wasn't that good. go to Meijer instead. Buy 1 Get 1 free tilapia ftw!

Shrimp from China??? 'Guess my education is lacking as I've never heard of that (although I've heard of it from other Asian countries).

Good news: I don't see how the Chinese (or anyone) could lace these with Melamine (even my Chinese friends won't buy most mainland China food products now).

The (not so) bad news: 130/36oz = 58-count (/lb) shrimp. These are fine for putting in a curry or salad, but these are pretty small to dip as appetizers. Nevertheless, I've been hankering for a curry so I may pick up a bag.

Thanks OP!

Here's how I heard they farm shrimp in China: the shrimp ponds are located beneath suspended chicken coops. The chicken are fed protein feed(possible melamine?) and then their feces drops into the water to feed the shrimp.

? Meaning: "Because they include cocktail sauce you have to use it"? I don't serve shrimp that small to guests -- hence my observation -- but I do enjoy them in dishes. Have I missed some pithy point in the OP? Or do we have a failure to communicate? Whadeveh... no malice intended on this end.

Well, they do already come as appetizers with dip and they don't come in bags.

If it makes any difference to anyone, this is 28oz shrimp and 8oz sauce.
