In this episode, we dive deep into how recent tariffs on imported seafood—especially shrimp and swai from countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and China—are reshaping the American seafood industry.

We’ll explore how these tariffs are leveling the playing field for U.S. shrimpers and catfish farmers, increasing demand for wild-caught Gulf Coast seafood, and encouraging more consumers to buy local. You'll hear how pricing is shifting, what it means for coastal communities, and how domestic producers are stepping up in response.

Plus, we tackle tough questions: Do tariffs actually protect American jobs? What are the hidden costs to consumers? And can the U.S. seafood industry meet demand in a post-import world?

🎣 Whether you're a seafood lover, policy watcher, or just want to know where your dinner's really coming from, this episode will give you something to chew on.
