Reading today's numbers
Only one vendor currently lists Red Onyx Shrimp, so today's per-shrimp price ($6.20) comes from that vendor alone rather than a cross-vendor comparison.

Price history
The per-shrimp market median for Red Onyx Shrimp has held steady across all 50 days we've tracked it. That's normal here: US dwarf shrimp prices hold still rather than drifting — genuine repricings are vanishingly rare across the whole index (we measured this across the whole market) — so today's numbers above are a dependable benchmark, not a snapshot of a jittery market.
