If you order calamari at a place in point Judith, the squid was caught from a boat that may have been based out of the port. The squid is sold to a buyer and flash frozen. Then It's shipped to china, where it's thawed, cleaned, breaded and packaged in nice little plastic bags. Then it's shipped back to the united states to a distributor.. Then it's shipped to the resteraunt that's about 20 feet away from the boat that might have caught the squid in the first place. Crazy. All that squid could be cleaned and processed here in the state, but it's my guess is that the state regulates the business so much that it is obviously cheaper to ship it across the globe...I can't believe how cheap it is for all of that shipping.
