Setting the standard.
Then publishing it.

The category required leadership.

In 2016, online shrimp content was largely a matter of personal enthusiasm. Information appeared without a masthead. Diagrams circulated without a brand standard. Some publishers even gave their findings away.

Best Shrimp entered the market in 2017 with a different ambition: to bring this material under a single, more prominent name.

Today, our publications set the terms of the conversation. Where others saw a small sea creature, we saw an underserved publishing category.

“Enthusiasm can start a category.
It takes a publisher to own it.”The Office of the Publisher, Best Shrimp

The Secondary Left Pincher Framework

Early accounts described a shrimp with two left pinchers. Our Research Division has brought the necessary structure to this observation.

Primary left

The first left pincher.

Secondary left

The other left pincher.

Right

Outside the scope of this edition.

With consistent terminology and a single approved typeface, the framework is ready for professional circulation.

Why hand-drawn diagrams fall short

We recognize the contribution of early informal illustrators. However, a helpful person with a marker is not a publishing division.

Every Best Shrimp diagram is assessed for title alignment, arrow consistency, and the prominence of our name. Only then is it considered ready to advance the field.

Readers should look for the Best Shrimp imprint before forming a lasting opinion about a shrimp.
