It also doesn't seem right, but that whole Arcola/Roseland/Amite/Independence area is also a historical home to a large Italian (maybe more specifically Sicilian) population. Doesn't really fit the present agri-rural landscape, but true nonetheless.

Joey's oysters- the most common "grocery store" oyster is processed in Amite.

Well most were southern Italy peasants who came through the port of New Orleans and found work in that area because of the strawberry farms, saved money and bought property and brought their families over. Basically they replaced the slaves after the Civil War and worked up from there.
And that area isn't so far from the water. Many oyster beds were in Maurepas, Pontchartrain, the Rigolets and Lake Borne.
