Today we’d like to introduce you to Luke Gautier.
Luke , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Gautier & Sons Seafood is a niche Gulf Coast seafood distributor. Their head-on shrimp, crab meat and crabs, boudin, fish varieties, and prepared regional seafood offerings like gumbo and étouffée have kept landlocked Nashvillians flush with fish since 2020. Those in the know get to the Richland Park Farmers Market early on Saturday mornings to call dibs on their weekly seafood supply. My grandfather in 1946 started a business that inspired my seafood journey where he sold seafood, ice, gas and boats on the gulfcoast of Biloxi.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Never, from tornados to loss products.. Covid and the effects of the economy. Power outages that destroy freezers and spoil food
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a teacher as well. I teach 7th grade science to kids with emotional disorders and traumatic disorders. This and selling seafood, I work every day of the week doing something! I am proud of the almost 9 years I have had working with students of Nashville!
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
You have to be able to let things go and try and not take things personally. The term less is more is something I have come to appreciate with success living in Nashville
