This place constantly over inflates the size of its shrimp. One time they were advertising jumbo size, only to go there and find out that they looked more like medium/large. This week, they are advertising a 4 lb. box of "Colossal" shrimp, which they actually list as being under-15 count. Right next to that, they also advertise a 2 lb bag of "Super Colossals" for $24, which would normally be somewhere in the under-10 count range. When I went to the store and asked the guy about the super colossal bags, he gave me one from out of the case. When I asked him if they are the same as the loose ones on ice at the other end of the seafood counter, which I know to be under-8 size, he said that they indeed were the same ones as those, which run $17/lb. Problem is the ones in the bag looked nowhere as big as the under-8 size, but I took the guy's word for it. When I got home, though, I noticed that the bag was checked off as 13-15 count....which happens to be the same size that they advertising their "Colossal" size as. So not only was their ad misleading, but the guy who helped me out flat out lied to me about which size I was getting. Going forward, unless they list the count size in ALL of their advetisements, I will not be wasting another trip there for specials that sound too good to be true, because I know they won't be.
Did you find this review...?
