The pristine waters of the Florida Gulf Coast, off of Anna Maria Island and the connecting village of Cortez, are home to the last of this country’s traditional wild fisheries as well as the future of domestic sustainable aquaculture. Seth Cripe, a Florida native, founded Anna Maria Fish Company with the mission of working to support his friends and family’s way of life as fishermen, and preserve
it for the livelihood and enjoyment of future generations, while upholding their cultural integrity and simultaneously increasing economic development in the Florida gulf regionWe hand select our caviar at Mote, to ensure that we get only the best quality. We pride ourselves on upholding high-standards and delivering pristine quality caviar to some of the most discerning chefs in the country, as well as to retail stores and home consumers, who deserve an elevated eating experience when investing in caviar. Mild and smooth, with that amazing burst-in-your mouth pop, our malossol caviar is an Osetra class, with eggs ranging from 2.4mm–2.5mm in diameter, making them grade A product. The eggs are then packed on site at Mote and shipped out to be savored on their own or incorporated into dishes to create for revelatory eating experiences.
