MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – Just days after a federal lawsuit publicly named 25 Lowcountry restaurants accused of misleading customers about the origin of their shrimp, one of those businesses has now reached a resolution with the South Carolina Shrimpers Association.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Charleston, claims the restaurants falsely marketed imported shrimp as local. The shrimpers are seeking an injunction and monetary damages, while also pushing for a state law that would require restaurants to clearly disclose where their shrimp is sourced.
