Sailor,
Unfortunately the amount of shrimpers out there that are packing it in is getting larger.
I won't get political here but there are reasons for this. A lot can't afford the fuel increases for their fishing boats and the ones that do know they will have to hand that cost off to the end buyer.
Last year up in Maine we were talking with a local family owner that we know that sells fresh seafood right off the boat named ( Off The Boat Lobsters ) and they had Steamer Clams at ONE DOLLAR each...
Usually, you could get 2 dozen for about 9 bucks, last year it would cost 24$ for the same thing.
This season they weren't as expensive but you have to remember you are getting Steamers, not the usual clam that everyone sells, Shrimp, Crabs and Lobster in the freshest way possible.
If you and PB ever want to take a day trip Next Season ( They are closed now ) I believe it's about a 4 hour drive for you, let me know and i can give you the rundown on where to get the freshest cold water seafood in that area. I'll also send you to one of the nicest beaches and towns in that area.
Off The Boat Lobster will also cook your Lobster for you right there in salt water for 4 $.
Nothing better, I guarantee it.

Thanks, Poco. Sounds fantastic and I always wanted to travel to Maine.
A couple of years ago we bought some frozen salmon with a huge USA logo on the front of the box. In teeny letters on the back, it read Processed in China. It was so odd we looked it up. Fish caught in Alaska, sent to China for de-boning. It's still a puzzle.
Moink!

As for Maine, we've been known to make random sporadic day trips so let me know :)
