BEAUMONT, Texas — Seafood Lover owner Steve Edwards is determined not to raise his shrimp prices — at least for now — despite a lag in supply this season.
Edwards has been primarily buying shrimp from three boats in the area for the past 30 years. He knows the shrimpers' costs are up and their catches down, he said.
Still, Edwards told The Beaumont Enterprise (http://bit.ly/10vPJMS) that he would not change prices on one of his best-selling items for at least the next month or two.
"I hope I can weather it," he said of the shrimp shortfall. "They could turn around and have a good season."
