Alabama NewsCenter — Admiral Shellfish Company offers prime oysters grown in south Alabama

By: Eric Velasco

Anthony Ricciardone is a farmer. Oysters are his crop, boutique bivalves that he and partner Chris Head grow in water off Fort Morgan where the salty Gulf of Mexico meets more subtly brackish Bon Secour Bay.

A lifelong outdoorsman and fisherman, Ricciardone began by raising oysters off the dock where he lived along Mobile Bay as part of an Auburn University reef-replenishment project.

That led him to explore the commercial possibilities, ultimately partnering with Head to form Admiral Shellfish Co.
