fishy smelly shrimp

Was looking for wild caught and not farmed raised. Found these in the frozen section. I’m a pretty experienced cook. I can make just about anything taste good. However these shrimp were disgusting. As soon as I opened the bag I knew they were bad. Expiration date of 2024. So I tried anyways. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and they looked good. Nope! They tasted like spoiled fish. Through the whole bag away. Don’t buy.

Had high hopes but was severely disappointed

Read good reviews on this and bought a bag. Loved that it was wild caught and extra large size. The shrimp smelled horrible (strong amonia smell) when I opened the bag. Decided to try cooking them still and they were mushy. Will not buy again and do not recommend.

Surprising flavor and texture

These are true shrimp but a different species than most frozen shrimp in a bag. This species is referred to in some quarters as "langostino" and does not have the flavor and texture of other species of shrimp, being more like lobster in both flavor and texture. That's not a bad thing, but they are not the best choice for shrimp cocktail or use in a recipe that calls for shrimp. On the other hand, they make a nice mock lobster roll or mock lobster bisque for a lower price and greater yield and convenience since there is no shell. Although they are red, they are sold raw and still need to be cooked.

Deeeelicious!

Absolutely delicious and we had these fresh at ouŕ wedding years ago. My kids love these over any shrimp! Easy to cook. We have days of the week including Taco Tuesday and we do Water Wednesday so any food from the water... and we always add things but a MUST to have these every time. Plus, these come from the OCEAN!!!

Food poisoning suspected...

When defrosting the shrimp there was a fishy odor (not chlorine or ammonia, just fish), I didn't realize that was completely abnormal for shrimp, cooked, ate several, taste was becoming increasingly fishy, stopped eating them. Within the hour, sick! Will not purchase seafood here ever again and would seriously stay away from this shrimp for your own safety.

feels like rubber, taste like plastic

i've been buying Argentine red shrimp from sams club for 3 years, it's the absolute best. i purchased this thinking it was the brand i normally buy (marina del rey) since the bag said it had a 'new look'. When washing the thawed shrimp, i noticed it felt like little pieces of rubber toys, rather than seafood. after cooking it, i think it taste like plastic and will not be purchasing again. a few reviewers remarked that it taste like lobster, i'd agree that it does (i don't like lobster), however this is shrimp. it'd be nice if it taste like shrimp.

Sam’s Replaced a better brand & RAISED THE PRICE

Sam’s Club replaced another brand of Argentine Red Shrimp That it used to carry (Marina del Rey) with it’s own Member’s Mark branch at the expense of quality. Worse yet, it raised the price by at least a dollar/2lbs. Very disappointing! (Attached is a picture of the other, better and less expensive brand Sam’s used to carry).

argentine shrimp

I have bought and loved these many, many times over the past 2 years but in the past year, 3 of the 12 bags I've cooked were rotten(strong ammonia) tasting and I had to throw them out and they totally stunk up my house. Scared to buy them again (and sad).

Something is wrong with these shrimp

I recently bought 2 bags of the Argentine Red Shrimp. We’ve purchased these in the past and they’ve been good. This time, however, I had to return. After cooking the shrimp, and cooling the shrimp they appeared to be uncooked. I sent them back to the pan and cooked some more. They still appeared uncooked. I looked closely at the shrimp and found a gel substance on the shrimp. I was pulling off pieces of gel from them. After googling what it could be I do not feel comfortable buying this shrimp any longer. Please, Sams Club…check into this.

Package mis-labeled

Package says shrimp is raw. It is not. It is cooked.
