Don’t skimp on the shrimp: Maine shrimp season in full swing
Bangor Daily News - 12/29/2010.

By Emily Burnham – Pandalus borealis sounds like something fantastical, like a figure from mythology or a legendary creature. It’s actually the scientific name for a little pink crustacean that fishermen pluck by the ton from the coldest parts of the ocean each winter — the tiny, briny, deliciously sweet wild Maine shrimp.
