Calusa Oyster Company is a Tampa Bay Florida based, sustainable, family aquaculture company that grows and sells our farm raised, gulf oysters to distributors, chefs, restaurants, and the retail consumer. Calusa is named in honor of the Calusa Indians, Florida's Native American Indian tribe that ruled the southwestern coast and are known as the "Shell Indians." They were the only Native American tribe in the US to subsist from the sea and not the land.
