Shrimping for Generations
Our Story
At Coastline Shrimp, we do not outsource our product, All of our shrimp are caught by Captain Skip on the F/V Jesus Lives. Our crew meticulously heads, washes, weighs, flash freezes, and packages our shrimp on board the vessel. Since our shrimp never leave our hands, you can be assured you will receive the best quality shrimp you have ever had, we guarantee it.
Our Goal
As a fourth-generation commercial fisherman, Captain Skip deeply respects the ocean and all it has to offer. It is his goal to provide you with our fresh, wild-caught, delicious shrimp at reasonable prices while preserving and expanding our family's rich history in the shrimping industry.
How it Works
Perfected Over Generations
Captain Skip targets larger shrimp. The majority of his catch is a 21-25 count (21-25 shrimp per pound), shell-on, headed shrimp. Keeping the shell on protects the shrimp during freezing and thawing, allowing for maximum storage life and quality.
Our Vessel
The Jesus Lives was built in Chauvin, LA, and took her maiden voyage in April 2017. Captain Skip bought the vessel in 2020.
Our Crew
Skip Toomer, Coastline Shrimp owner and Captain of the F/V Jesus Lives, has never envisioned a different career path and revels in the fact that his office is the ocean.
Our expert crew sorts our shrimp by hand and heads them on deck. Once sorted, the shrimp are thoroughly washed with fresh water and weighed. Then, they are placed in the chill tank and packaged in the freezer room.
