Jarvis Green Two-time Super Bowl Champion and former New England Patriot Jarvis Green’s company Oceans97 introduces its new Shrimp Pate. A 5-ounce (net weight) canned seafood item with 18 grams of protein and 90 calories in total. This innovative product is made from 100% shrimp tails and butter mixed with a variety of spices and comes in five delicious flavors; New Orleans BBQ, Creamy Lemon, Hickory Smoke, Rillettes and Jalapeño Chili. Active on-the-go sports men and women now not only have another option, they have a better option than the same old traditional canned tuna, SPAM, dehydrated or freeze-dried foods. Whether camping, RVing, hunting, hiking, fishing, training, traveling, running, boating or even creating an emergency food kit, just pull the pop-top opening and the product is ready to serve. This unique product can be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacking—the options for this incredible Shrimp Pate are literally limitless!

Easy to carry, simple to open, packed with protein and tasty to eat, we believe this product fits perfectly into the Commissaries nationwide as well as international and first responders. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, I was there after the season helping families and friends hand out survival kits, water, beef jerky, pretzels and a few other things that was simple to move around. Oceans 97 canned shrimp pate is that new innovated item that’s perfect and just 1-2 cans a day can help someone survived and not go hungry with its packed 18 grams of protein in 1 canned serving.

About Oceans97:
Oceans97, Inc. is a National Minority Owned Company. Owner and president, two-time Super Bowl Champion and former New England Patriots defensive lineman Jarvis Green, started in the shrimp business soon after his retirement from the NFL in 2010. Since then, Green has become a leader in educating people about the health benefits of a diet rich in protein by using fresh foods and natural ingredients. Ocean97’s first entered into the shrimp industry as a wholesale distributor of shrimp in partnership with companies such as Dole & Bailey (founded in 1850). In just a few years, Oceans97 experienced rapid growth and distribution of their products all across the United States. In July 2017, Oceans 97 launched a retail line of value added shrimp and sauces which debuted on QVC (QVC television and QVC online). 

Oceans 97 frozen products just came to an end of a 2-year promotion with Stop n Shop Mid-Atlantic to Maine. The 2-year promotion was the first of its kind to offer a value-added Domestic shrimp ready to cook. 

Oceans 97 has been working with Whole Foods selling fin-fish and after 3 years of diligent work, received its National Global Procurement to sell Wild-Caught Raw/Cooked IQF SHRIMP. 

Oceans 97 will be launching on Amazon in the next few weeks 

In the coming months, Oceans97 will be introducing many new innovative food items and will continue to expand the availability of their products at retail locations nationwide. Green has developed a canned shrimp paté, which is a high-quality food product that can be used for disasters as a unique survival product with a 4-year shelf life.

Green said his business has grown from the first day he attended the LSBDC-SUBR’s training classes.

“Every class has been key to helping me evolve and go to the next level with procurement on the city, state, and federal level,” Green said.

Green attended the FoodPreneurs Accelerator Summit, SAM and 8(a) Certification classes hosted by the LSBDC-SUBR and facilitated by the Small Business Administration (SBA) Louisiana District Office Deputy Director Jo Ann Lawrence.
