Ready to eat. The Gulf Coast Advantage. Gulf of Mexico. Local & wild caught. In 1968, Rosario Cassarino, an immigrant from the Italian island of Sicily decided to take his wife, Giovanna to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream. Settling on Galveston Island, Rosario began to work as a deckhand on a local shrimp boat to make ends meet. Eventually, he managed to save enough money to buy his own boat. After each trip he and his wife would sell their catch to local grocers and restaurants. His reputation for quality made him a favorite among restaurateurs, eventually other shrimpers were looking for him to sell their catches. In 1918 Rosario opened Galveston Shrimp Company.
