Shrimp Scandal Exposed: Jackson Restaurants Caught in Wild-Caught Deception! In a eye-opening segment, Clay Edwards breaks down a new genetic testing study by CD Consulting (for Southern Shrimp Alliance) revealing widespread fraud in Jackson-area seafood spots. From June 23-26, 2025, 44 restaurants were sampled; only 14 served genuine US wild-caught shrimp as advertised – the rest dished out imported fakes. "Mississippians deserve to know what they're being served – wild-caught is pride & livelihood!" quotes COO Aaron Williams. Clay lists the authentic 14: Aha Crawfish Bistro, Barry's Seafood, Da Shack, Drago's, Howlin' Miles, Half Shell Oyster House, McB's Bar & Grill, Primo's Cafe, Shaggy's on the Rez, Season's Crawfish, Shuckers on the Reservoir, Table 100, The Mayflower, The Twisted Turnip. Praises them as well-run, mostly local/MS-owned institutions: "No surprise – they hold higher standards, don't lie to friends & neighbors." Notes 18 explicitly inauthentic, 10 implicitly (via branding), 2 admitted imports post-query. Ties to new MS labeling law (July 1, 2025) for transparency: "Hope retesting shows improvement – honesty, not deception!" Calls out suppliers' role but stresses accountability.
