At Wixter, we began as a neighborhood market in Chicago and built our business by being honest, transparent, and uncompromising. We founded Wixter on the promise that you will not find a higher quality seafood in the world, and we still hold fast to the local values that built our market's reputation.
From the moment it leaves the water until it reaches your fork, we trace our seafood's journey through our own supply chain. We work with the most trustworthy farmers and fishermen we can find for each product, and we harvest during each species' peak time of year. At Wixter, we freeze our seafood within hours of it leaving the water to lock in peak nutritional value and flavor.
Shrimp goes well with garlic and butter, chili and lime, or a simple marinade.
Common Questions
Is frozen shrimp better than fresh shrimp from the seafood counter?
For most home chefs, a well-handled frozen shrimp like our Wixter American Shrimp is the more dependable choice. Shrimp is very perishable, and much of the "fresh" shrimp in a grocery case was frozen after harvest and then thawed for display, so its quality is already declining by the time you buy it. Fresh seafood starts losing quality the moment it is harvested, because bacteria grow over time and reduce both flavor and nutritional value. That is why freezing sits at the center of how we run Wixter. As a brand, we pair the time-honored method of freezing with modern technology and freeze our seafood within hours of it leaving the water. Keeping shrimp frozen until the day you cook it lets you thaw it when you need it.
How can I waste less seafood when I cook at home?
Buy frozen and thaw only what the meal needs. Frozen seafood lets you thaw and use only what you need, minimizing waste and environmental impact. Thawing a portion overnight in the refrigerator, or in a sealed bag under cold running water, and cooking it within a day or two keeps the rest safe in the freezer for another meal. Across our range, we pack our seafood in small portions. We also work on waste further up the chain: our producers turn by-products into marine oils, supplements, and pet and agricultural feed, so each fish is put to its fullest nutritional use.
How can I tell if a seafood brand is actually sustainable?
Look for a brand that can tell you where its seafood came from and how it got to you. At Wixter we can tell you both. Traceability, harvest limits, third-party certification and transport are the things to check, because they show whether a sustainability claim has anything behind it. At Wixter we trace every product from the moment it leaves the water until it reaches your fork, and we control every part of that supply chain, from water to plate. We have spent years on five continents finding globally certified partners who meet strict sustainability standards. We follow strict catch limits and harvest each species in its peak season from its natural waters. Because we freeze our seafood, we do not need to fly it around "first-class" to keep it fresh, which cuts the climate cost of getting it to you.
How much shrimp is in a bag of Wixter American Shrimp?
Each bag of our Wixter American Shrimp holds 12 oz, which is three quarters of a pound. At a typical 4 oz serving of seafood, that comes to about three portions, enough for a weeknight dinner for two with some to spare, or a shrimp topping for pasta or tacos for three. The UPC is 850002886085.
