Your best bet might be the seafood section of H Mart or some other Asian themed supermarket,not sure what's in your area but such places out this way are usually stocked with all kinds of live sea creatures.
When you you say "for fish keeping"?
Do you mean to to use as fish food?
Or do you mean as tanks mates?
I use small riverine types to occasionally feed fish.
And also larger ones too big for the eat, as tank mates for my cichlids.
There is a fine line between the two at times.
I miss judged not far back, and a large one ate a couple of my catfish.
There is always a chance of disease transfer.
And always a risk of too much Thiaminase if shrimp are over fed

I was extremely interested in giant river prawns or the floridian big claw shrimp and was thinking i could keep a couple of em in my 250g. doing some research led to not too many results of people having giant prawns and fish coexisting. the majority of fish i keep in there i thought would be no problem with the exception of my tiger morays, i planned on keeping them as pets but i wouldn’t be unhappy if they were eaten by the other fish in the tank.
These shrimp are very adept predatores, so you may want to weigh pros and cons carefully if certain fish are important.
I catch them in the rivers below, some times filling a bucket
If they are too small or vulnerable, I keep them in planted sumps, to satisify my invertabrate jones.
Where they do a good job ate eating detritus
I have had certain cichlids that weren't able to handle an indiviual invert on its own, hunt them down as a pack.
