Our Family's Journey Since 2011
The Outdoorsman Seafood and Feed in Bay Minette, Alabama is a family-owned retail store that has served the Gulf Coast and surrounding counties since 2011, providing fresh and frozen seafood alongside certified livestock, poultry, deer, and pet feed. Backed by years of local experience, industry memberships, and important credentials like Seafood Industry Association memberships, Food Safety Certification, Seafood Handling Certification, and an Animal Feed License, the store has become a trusted name for both delicious Gulf seafood and reliable animal nutrition.
This business was founded with a simple belief: every community deserves access to honest, high-quality food - whether it comes from river, swamp, sea, or pasture. Our roots run deep in local traditions and our doors have always been open to farmers, families, outdoor lovers, and anyone with a taste for southern hospitality. Early mornings bring the scent of shrimp boils and fresh hay, while evenings often end with neighbors swapping stories over sacks of crawfish or bags of feed. Our team, led by Ramona (LilBit) Kobitz, Joey Kobitz, and Joe Lawson, treats every customer like a friend. Folks drive in from Mobile, Baldwin, and beyond, knowing they will find the quality, affordability, and service only a true local store can offer. We are proud to support our community with locally sourced seafood, eco-friendly products, and an after-hours honor system for feed pickups - showing the trust we have in our neighbors. Step through our doors and you will feel that family welcome, hear genuine advice, and find products we stand behind. Stop by or give us a call; we love sharing our story - and a good meal or feed tip - with anyone who visits.
