Canadian beef shrinks as well when it is cooked, I would guess because of the fat in the meat.

\nI no longer eat shrimp since most is factory farmed, fed synthetic "food".\r\n

\r\n \r\n As a vegan, I\'m probably not the person to be answering this, but....

\nYes, standard industry practice to \'water boost\'. Meant to help keep the product moist and fresh. Though in reality, when refrigerated the water freezes adding weight and bulk to the product. Increasing the profit margin and making the consumer think they\'re getting more for their money than they actually are.\r\n

Default QUESTION FOR THE NON AMERICANS

In the US, when we buy beef and cook it, it shrinks. Also, some of our seafood and expecially shrimp is soaked in a chemical that causes them to absorb water and appear bigger until you cook them. What about in your countries?
