Palacios Seafood Industry

Palacios has one of the largest shrimping ports in the state of Texas with over 400 Bay and Gulf shrimp boats making Palacios their home port. These boats are located in the 3 Turning Basins that make up the Port of Palacios.  It is a very beautiful sight to drive around these areas and observe these stately boats.  On a visit to Anchor Seafood, the unloading of the already frozen shrimp was observed.
 
This gentleman is unloading frozen shrimp from the freezer compartment of the Gulf shrimpboat.
 
The shrimp are then placed on the conveyor belts.
The shrimp are loaded onto palettes, which are then loaded into trucks for shipping.
The shrimp are counted
and checked for quality.
