Shrimp season started Sept. 18th I believe. From what I have heard it looks to be a real good season. Shrimp coming in large and tasty.
San Felipe Shrimp Fest is Nov. 5,6,7

This is correct
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Started the 18th but is going to be expensive this year. The jumbos came in the first day at 105 pesos per kilo right off the boat to a reseller. Now
they are up to 140 per kilo. He says they expect them to be at 220 per kilo by December. Good news is that they are plentiful this year.
BTW- if you are going to buy, wait until the pangas come in. Usually part of the crews pay is shrimp and they will sell it cheaper than you can buy it
off the street.

The season has been going for about 2-3 weeks. But I hear prices are much steeper than in years past. They're all trying to make up for what they're losing elsewhere in the down economy.

Might be due to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Seafood buyers are leery about products from the Gulf of Mexico due to possible contamination.

Well, that's a bit more than we've paid in the past, but so is the gas for the pangas, etc. Still it is much cheaper than here is the US and they are
so fresh and tasty. We are going down later this month and I can't wait to grill up some shrimp!!!
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

The Malecon was thick with shrimp vendors last weekend. $15 per kilo was about the going rate.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....
