With the way the U.S. economy was looking in the past few months, I started looking for investment opportunities in other countries. Why not look to our southern brothers, I thought?

Before I continue with my story, here’s a quick side track. But it’s related, I promise. Have you guys noticed the sudden popularity of television shows about food? I mean between Rachel Ray, Alton Brown, and Bobby Flay, we’ve pretty much ushered in a new era of Food Network shows.

Anyways, I thought, wow, wouldn’t it be cool to supply fish, shrimp and other seafood to these wonderful chefs? I mean, everyone’s got to eat, and the idea of fine dining is the new popular thing to experience.

So, I placed some calls and ended up in Mexico, along the Sea of Cortez, checking out and meeting big seafood suppliers. Now, you must be thinking, “That’s it? So easy!”

Ha! Nothing could be further from the truth. There are tons of things to worry about: how to keep the seafood fresh while in transport, the actual transport, and getting FDA approval, just to name a few.

Anyways, enjoy the following video I made while down south. I wanted to check out the “crop” so to speak and they had a guy throw some feed in the water to attract the shrimp. Then down went the net and captured some.

Now, keep in mind that at the time of the video, it was still two months before shrimp season, so they were all really small.
