Oysters thrive in the waters of coastal Alabama. Our southern climate allows for year-round harvest, and our flourishing bays and estuaries provide plenty of nutrition and protection that enhances the coastal landscape.

 

An oyster captures a memory of a place and time, a snapshot of flavor, grown from the unique conditions of, not just a particular body of water, but a particular area within that body of water. Our bays and estuaries produce distinctive and subtle flavors found nowhere else in the world. Enjoy a dozen oysters from a dozen farms or reefs along Alabama’s coast  and you’ll have enjoyed twelve unique flavors, each created by the variations in salinity, nutrients, and temperature within local waters.

Alabama oyster farmers and catchers understand our waters, and they raise oysters crafted by the diverse qualities of our coast. From Dauphin Island to Bon Secour, oyster farmers are creating a culinary portrait of the landscape with the singular flavors that define Alabama’s oysters.
