Our story

From Biggie's kitchen to your table.

My love of cooking comes from my grandmother — we called her Biggie. Summers were spent at her elbow, watching her turn the trinity into jambalaya, the roux into gumbo, the catfish into something you'd dream about for a week.

Catfish Cape's bottles that hand. Every blend is built to bring the old south into your home — the warmth, the table talk, the second helping you didn't plan on.
