Row of four bottles of Ree-Lee hot sauce with a white box behind them, all against a red background.

A black and white photograph of a boat with the registration number 20E 431, carrying a large load of stacked crates, with a man standing on the deck near the crates.

A man is sitting on a bed, talking on a corded telephone. He has a beard and is wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants. There is a wooden cabinet in the background.

A food truck with text indicating it serves barbecued seafood, reed-legged crab, and stuffed crabs.

Born on the shores of Bayou Gauche, Louisiana, our beloved great-grandparents, Jeffrey and Lena, lived off the land and built a small family business called Bayou Gauche Seafood Co. There, they sold their famous stuffed crabs under the name REE-LEE Brand Stuffed Crabs, proudly using the slogan “The Way You Like Them.” It was a simple way of life built on hard work, family, and great food.

The name REE-LEE comes directly from their names—Jeffrey (pronounced Jeff-ree) and Lena (pronounced Lee-na). The name itself is a tribute to the two people whose dedication, cooking, and family values created the tradition that started it all.

Today, we are proud to bring the REE-LEE Brand back to life. Inspired by our great-grandparents’ legacy, we continue that tradition with our own slogan, “The Way You Like It.”

Every bottle of REE-LEE Brand Hot Sauce honors that heritage—sharing the same passion, flavor, and love of family that began on the bayou.
