90% of supermarket shrimp are treated with preservatives. One shrimp preservative, 4-hexylresorcinol, has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer in women and reduce sperm counts in men. Other preservatives can result in reduced flavor and a toughening or rubberizing of the meat. If you’re looking for pure, preservative-free shrimp in Connecticut, Atlantic Seafood Market is the place for you.
