It is available in all seasons, all weather conditions, and with any bait type, making it one of the most accessible ocean catches. While Greasyback Shrimp has no direct sell value (listed as N/A in the Islandpedia), its true worth comes from its role as a cooking ingredient. It appears in four different cooking recipes, more than almost any other single fish.
