Erik “the Red” to attempt spot shrimp record
Erik “the Red” Denmark announces that he will attempt to break the IFOCE record of 4 lb. 9 oz. of spot shrimp in 12 minutes tomorrow. The record is currently held by “Hungry” Charles Hardy. The attempt will be part of a charity event and broadcast on internet radio around 7:30 eastern / 4:30 pacific.
Crazy Legs Conti claims to have done 5 pounds in 10 minutes:
Q Do you have a favorite eating contest? Hot dogs? Ice cream?
A I turned pro on Acme Louisiana Oysters (20 dozen in ten minutes) and earned the moniker, “The Mollusk King”. I’ve done well in Alaskan Spot Shrimp (5 lbs in ten minutes). I am training for Delaware Crab Cakes, so seafood is my specialty. My father weaned me on seafood, calling it, “low tide food – nothing that grows above the ankle”. Favorite Eating Contest? Lobster, Lobstah, and Ayuh, Lobsta.

You can do it Eric. I’m surprised that wasn’t broken years ago. It is ripe for destruction.

Thank you guys for the support. I hope everyone knows that this is not just a self promoting exhibition just to try and break a record. This event is all about the charities and the organizations that are involved. The IFOCE and the Godfather were kind enough to support me in a record breaking attempt that will hopefully bring some attention and money to the charities involved.
