North Sea Shrimps

As the name suggests, North Sea shrimps are caught close to home. Their salty, slightly sweet flavour makes them the tastiest shrimps. In the Netherlands, this delicacy is known as Dutch shrimps and, in Belgium, grey shrimps. In both countries, North Sea shrimps are a popular product, used for such classic recipes as shrimp croquettes and shrimp cocktail. North Sea shrimps are caught and immediately sieved, cooked and cooled on board cutters.
