About Us
Our specialty seafood products are handcrafted in Bayou La Batre, the seafood capital of Alabama.
We use only domestic, wild-caught seafood sourced from fishermen who we are proud to call family and friends. This allows us to offer our customers the highest quality product with the freshest possible ingredients.
Our products are flash frozen and never thawed before reaching the consumer. The majority of our specialty products are meant to be cooked frozen and ready to serve in 30 – 60 minutes. They are great to have in the freezer at all times.
6 Years đź
We are officially taking online orders for delivery in Birmingham and Mobile in certain areas of each city.
Please check out our website⊠bayougourmet.com for delivery info and locations.
Thank you đđ»@marketatpepperplace for this amazing post!

#NationalShrimpDay đŠ Barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautĂ© it, fry it. No doubt about it - there`s more than one way to enjoy "the fruit of the sea," aka America`s favorite seafood.
Meet @Bayou_La_Batre native Ryan Taylor, owner @bayougourmet. He`s proud to use only domestic, wild-caught seafood sourced from fishermen he knows. đ This is key because it means he knows HOW products are handled from the moment they`re caught in the nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico until it`s on your table!
đŁ Choose between favorites like red or white shrimp, scallops, and ahi tuna steaks to handcrafted items like bacon-wrapped shrimp with crab meat stuffing and crawfish pie.
What makes buying locally better? đ„° The connection you make with real people who catch, grow, and make your food. âš Bayou Gourmet`s recipes are rich in family history - passed down from his mother, Susan Taylor and his late grandmother Becky Nickel.
đ Ways to support this family-owned, Alabama business:
every Saturday at the market, shop their website, follow their social for local delivery options, and find their products at @ashleymacs @homewoodgourmet #pastryartbakeshoppe @murderpointoysterco & @northrivercattleco
