About Isle Dauphine Oyster Company

Our Story

Freshness & Sustainability

A world-class product - Alabama's and possibly America's premium oysters – that also generates highly productive habitats for marine life

Isle Dauphine oysters derive all their food and nutrients directly from the environment with no input from the farmers. At the same time nurseries for crabs, shrimp, fish, and other marine life are created.

What’s more, as well as a near perfect oyster, the company now provides year round employment opportunities for traditionally seasonal waterway economies

Our Freshness & Sustainability Promise
  • Harvested fresh, never stored
  • Grown in clean Gulf waters
  • Eco-friendly, low-impact farming
  • No chemicals, just pure sea
  • Supporting healthy coasts and communities
