We just sent out fresh batches of SALTY local oysters from our East Bay farm to our wonderful local vendors. Sit down and enjoy them dining at the Grand Marlin on Pensacola Beach, or pick up a bag at Maria’s Fresh Seafood (Pensacola), Blalock Specialty Seafood (Gulf Breeze), or Where Y’at Seafood (Navarre).

The combination of our hybrid oyster genetics and our state certified on-board cooling system makes our oysters as delicious and safe to eat during the summer as they are in any of the “R” months. When harvesting, our oysters go from the water to refrigeration within minutes, exponentially reducing the risks associated with bacterial infection.

Thank you all so much for your continued support!!!! 🇺🇸

Thanks so much for your support!! 🇺🇸

Emerald Tides Oyster Company is a locally owned and operated oyster farm located in Santa Rosa county's East Bay.  The farm can be seen from Garcon Point Bridge on the south side of the bay, just East of the bridge.  We proudly display the American and Florida flags on our corner pilings!

Hoping to clarify the misleading headline stories in our local news recently. While we do need to continue working on improving the health of our bay system, the statements about East Bay and Escambia Bay being completely shut down for oyster harvest due to high bacteria counts is absolutely false information. Bacteria levels are constantly monitored by FDACS and closures occur when any elevated levels are detected. Both our farm, and Grayson Bay have only been closed for harvest a few days during the past few months simply due to high rainfall totals. This is a post from our neighboring farm who is also being negatively affected by the misinformation to help clarify….
Thank you all for your continued support!
