Big debate over roadside shrimp
"Shrimp dealers and roadside sellers are squaring off in Brunswick County, prompting county officials to consider regulating the roadside sale of seafood," writes the Wilmington Star-News.
"Selling shrimp out of a cooler in 90 degree-plus weather is a health hazard, Southport shrimper Royce Potter said Saturday as he sat near his business on the Southport Yacht Basin.
"Potter, who catches and sells shrimp and fish for Potter's Seafood in Southport, approached the county commissioners July 16 with concerns about people who sell seafood on the roadside.
"He told the commissioners such unlicensed vendors suffer no repercussions if there are problems with improper food storage and therefore could give all seafood businesses a bad reputation. And it's unfair, he said, that roadside vendors don't have to meet the same standards that businesses like his do.
"Glenn Williams, who sells shrimp off N.C. 211 between Southport and Oak Island, says the real objection is to the competition he presents, and he plans to make his case to the commissioners at their next meeting. ..."

OK, I know it's kinda lame to respond to my own posting, but who actually buys roadside shrimp? I can't think of anything more dangerous!
