This is somewhat of a challenging question as there have been instances where the same brand was produced by various facilities and the quality was different in every bag. To achieve consistency it’s crucial to have the manufacturer produce according to the specifications of the brand. It sounds simple, but this can sometimes be difficult due to the economical factors that come into play, like the addition of extra chemicals to get a better cost of goods.
If you are looking for the best quality, we suggest not to look for a brand but check the ingredients. If it is shrimp only or just salt is added, the shrimp will be very similar tasting in any brand, provided it’s the same species. If there is sodium tripolyphosphate or sodium bisulfite, it will be tough to recommend a brand.
