Hugo’s Chefs on Maine Shrimp

MPBN has interviewed chefs Andrew Taylor and Mike Wiley about the cancellation of this year’s Maine shrimp season.

Wiley says shrimp have been scarce the last couple of years, but to have to take them off the menu this winter is disappointing.

“It means one less exciting local product to work with,” Wiley says. “That’s certainly a bit of a drag, but we’d like to see Maine shrimp on menus 10 years from now more than we need to have it on the menu this upcoming year.”
