Seafood
Seafood -In Dec, US total shrimp imports were up 1.6% but shell-on shrimp imports were down .4% versus '10. Shrimp prices are currently lower than last year but remain reasonably high which should encourage US shrimp imports in the coming months. This could keep shrimp prices below '11 levels. US salmon fillet/steak imports in Dec were 24% greater than '10. Salmon prices are 14% below the 5 year average for the date.
