Roadside shrimp vendors are
popular in many parts of Texas.
But before buying shrimp from
these vendors consumers should
check for cleanliness standards
in the operation and good quality
shrimp, says a Texas A&M Uni-
versity Agricultural Extension
Service seafood specialist.
First look for shrimp that are
stored or displayed in a clean
container, says Annette Reddell
Hegen. There should be enough
insulation and ice to keep the
shrimp at a temperature of 45
degrees F or below, she adds.
“Whether you buy your shr-
imp from a roadside vendor or a
supermarket, you can judge the
quality ot the shrimp too," says
the specialist. Fresh head-on
shrimp will have the head firmly
attached to the tail, she notes. As
shrimp deteriorate, the enzyme
action causes the two sections to
separate.
Also look for shrimp that are
free of discoloration on the flesh,
advises Hegen. The flesh should
have a healthy bloom and look
somewhat translucent.
The shells, however, may
vary in color. Shrimp may have
pink, white, gray or brown shell
color depending on the species.
"Shell color has nothing to do
with quality unless the shrimp is
very pink, indicating exposure to
too much heat,” she says.
Sense of smell can also help in
shrimp selection, says the spec-
ialist, since fresh shrimp have a
mild, fresh and clean odor.
The Texas Department of
Health does not issue a license
for mobile shrimp vending units,
explains Hegen. However, the
Texas Parks and Wildlife De-
partment has licensing require-
ments. The Texas Department of
Agriculture also regulates the
accuracy of all commercial wei-
ghing and measuring devices.
Sanitation guidelines for mob-
ile vendors include a holding tank
to retain all liquid waste, a
handwashing facility, equipment
cleaning sink and accessability to
toilet facilities, she adds.

Director for the Palacios Choirs
Michael Petrisky commented,
“Palacios did really good! I think
this sets a record for us. We had
a lot of happy kids, and some
disappointed ones, but they all
worked, participated, and learn-
ed some things about music, and
themselves. I'm really proud of
all our 21 District folks that went,
and gave it their best shot. ’ ’
