Farms: This Group of Alabama Farmers is Redefining Gulf Oysters
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Gulf oysters don't have to be big. This year, Eater is teaming up with James Beard award-winning Southern Foodways Alliance to spotlight their documentary work, premiering a short film every other week. This next piece focuses on a group of oystermen farming small oysters — unusual for the Gulf of Mexico — in Alabama. Now eight different commercial farms call Alabama home where there were none in 2009, and the new system allows farmers to earn a respectable living, and keep them living on the Alabama coast, where good jobs can be hard to come by. Says Alabama chef, Bill Briand, "The first one I ate it blew my mind and I want everyone to have that same experience. It's like eating salted butter."

i live in texas and would never eat an oyster from the gulf cause when i go to the coast just the area looks not so good looking, not saying gross, but i wouldnt eat an oyster from the gulf for sure lol, but of course these are farm raised oysters in the gulf in a good location, so i can change my mind willingly.

What do you guys do when hurricane season comes around. How do you protect your oysters?

The best fucking oysters in the south and I'm from NOLA. If you want to try these bad boys check out Peche or Borgne who both serve a variety of cage/farm raised oysters.

Good things takes a lot of effort, and it'll show from the price. Quadruple your farm!
