Americans aren\u2019t particularly enthusiastic about seafood. We eat less than half of what a Japanese or Indonesian person does. Less than a third of the average Icelander<\/a>. But there is one big exception: shrimp.<\/p>\n

Our appetite for the fat little crustacean has increased for decades, with the average American now eating almost six pounds<\/a> per year, far more than any other ocean product. Just ask Red Lobster: The struggling seafood chain declared bankruptcy<\/a> this month, citing, among other things, an all-you-can-eat shrimp scheme that cost the company $11 million<\/a> when it underestimated how much people would eat.<\/p>\n

But how healthy is our favorite seafood? Is it good for our bodies? What about the world\u2019s mangrove forests and sea turtle populations? And how do you know what to buy the next time you are at the seafood counter?<\/p>\n
