I'm not a big enough fan of shrimp to buy them fresh with the shells on 
and bother to peel them.  I remember when I was a teenager living in TN 
my mother bought frozen shrimp to serve shrimp cocktail at holiday 
dinners and they been shelled.

Gary used to give me a hard time, asking why didn't I just go to the 
docks to buy fresh shrimp.  Um.  That's not the way it works.  You can't 
just walk onto a commercial fishing dock and buy freshly caught seafood. 
  Those people aren't looking to sell 1/2 a pound of shrimp or whatever 
to individuals.  They are commercial shrimpers and fishermen who do this 
for a living.  They sell their catch to local shops and restaurants. 
You can go into local shops to buy fresh but you cannot walk out onto 
commercial fishing docks and buy anything.  Maybe it's different in 
Virginia or other places.
